CATDOLL: Short animation "Borrowed Time" Five minutes of extreme darkness and despair

When it comes to Pixar animations, people usually think of those interesting animations full of courage and adventure. But in fact, Pixar animations are not just for children, there are also many profound connotations in them, and many animators are very opinionated. Two Pixar animators and directors Lou Hamou-Lhadj and Andrew Coats spent more than five years in their spare time to make a 5-minute short animation, which is full of darkness and despair from beginning to end.

Short animation "Borrowed Time":

Borrowed Time wants to try more possibilities of animation. The film's core is about "forgiveness" and self-redemption, and the tone is quite appropriate. How the story ends, you should watch it yourself.

Under the cloudy sky, a man stood on a cliff, with a gloomy and melancholy look in his eyes. He sighed and recalled the past...

In my memory, a young boy was riding in a carriage with his sheriff father. His father gave him a pocket watch and put the sheriff's cowboy hat on him, and the boy smiled.

Suddenly, a bad guy attacked the father and son from behind the carriage. The bullet flew over the boy's head. The father handed the reins to the boy and told him "You can do it!", but the carriage accelerated and hit a rock and overturned.

The father was thrown off the cliff, but fortunately he was still holding on to the edge of the cliff. The boy stretched out his hands desperately but couldn't reach his father, so the father took out the gun on his back and handed it to his son with the butt of the gun facing him safely. The boy grabbed the gun and tried hard to save his father.
