PocketMovies is back — and it's been a long time coming.

In 2000, before YouTube existed, this site was already here — celebrating animation, short films, and the creators behind them. Not about quantity. Never about algorithms. Always about quality. PocketMovies is rising from the ashes, and it's once again possible to share your films with the world. ❤️ Jérôme

Moritz: simplemente gracias, haz tocado mi corazón, me muestras lo que soy y en lo que creo. Desde la música hasta el mensaje detrás de las imágenes, no he visto nada que me haya hecho vibrar tanto como tu trabajo. Desde mi y mi familia, gracias desde México. simply thanks, you touch my heart, you show me al that I am and all that I believe. Since music until message behind of images, I had not seen anything which put to vibrate to me like how your work. Since me and my family, thanks from Mexico.

Moritz, Thank you for demonstrating that beauty is not so much in the eye of the beholder as it is in the hands of a beautiful creator. Brimming with creativity and sublimely supported with a classically simple score. Bravo to the whole team--your old advisor

This is the kind of shortfilm I usually don't like. The storyline can fast become too sugarsweet and pointless, BUT this one is sure an exception. I really like that the storys told in a kind of "diary" way, and you visualize it great though hes style of drawing, and the ageing of hes hand. The movie never tries to be something that it isn't, but at the same time it holds my attention (which can be hard :D ). Even more, it's a statement that you don't need highend GI renders with DoF, SSS and whatever fancy panzy newbizz techniques to make a good film = good story + artistic originality owns every time :) Good work guys, I will keep my eyes spotted for more.

I am a 56 year old man and I'm not ashamed to say I wept, it was a most moving video and if there is any justice in this world you all should be awarded Oscar's. The music was perfect. Simply beautiful, will stay with me for a long time if not forever!
