Moral of the story: don’t let addictions pull you down find something that suits you and won’t harm you

There's a deeper way to read this. The movie isn't just about being hooked to a single addiction like knitting, it's about our general state of mind, constantly engaging in activies that are never satisfying and missing out the present moment because of it. Notice how she started playing with the scissors after realizing the needles are gone. She only stayed mindful for 20 seconds. That's how most of us live our lives.

This is for those people who couldn't differentiate thin line between passion and addition. Highly symbolical

I like how this illustrates how an artist can tie their entire identity to their craft, and how sometimes, that can lead to an unhealthy obsession with it, to the point that you dont know who you are outside of it

As soon as I realized this is a metephor for addiction I thought she was going to use her clothes after she ran out of hair

Lessons I've learned: 1. Don't build up something that's gonna bring you down. 2. Sometimes giving up is the right decision. 3. Let go of something when you know it's bringing you down. 4. You should resist from your addiction, because if you won't, It'll bring you down. 5. Always leave something for yourself.

Any one in 2024 ?

The moral is: choose your knitting locations more carefully.

moral of the story : destroy your bad habits before they destroy you

there's no such thing as classic animation, it's still beautiful to watch at any age, because this is art, full of meaning

The sound... no one is going to appreciate that the sound in this animation is much more curated than usual? It's amazing! My congrats to Janne Jankeri.

i think that addiction is heavy implied. Just look at where she is a barren area ( symbolizing isolation or the effect that the addiction had on her life) sitting infront of a cliff (showing the stakes that she put herself in) all so she can knit ( the addiction). She knits sooo much that even when danger is presented she would sacrifice her own life to continue and only when she was about to fall off the cliff (death) did she crawl (struggling to wing off) to gain the ability to to cut off the unhealthy relationship ( to go cold turkey). Scenes later we can see her hair is forever ruined ( how these addiction can impact your life afterwards) and still we see her fiddling with the needles (showing her urges to start again) and even after she dropped the needles she to fill in the void started playing with the scissors (another addiction) which we can only see as causing self harm in the end. And to bring more light to the sistuation think of what she is using needles and scissors ( which was a slang for a drug). Im not knocking what you are saying, but i rather you not knock someone else's claim without exploring why they would even say it. Edit: wow thank you all for the likes!!!! ☺☺

She basically replaced one addiction with another

I saw this once when I was a kid and I've found it nearly eight years later. I was starting to think it was just a dream I had

this is really deep as her addiction to knitting is like her addiction to her ambitions. in the end she sacrifices a part of herself to her ambitions, but it still pulls her over the edge. in the end, she bit through her own hair to se herself free. she lost a part of herself, and her addiction to 'knitting'. picking up the scissors she realizes that she could have prevented all her losses if she snipped the thread. she learns to appreciate the scissors and how there should be an end to everything. sorry for posting such a long comment xD

Lesson: we should control our addiction in every situation

Some people NEVER know when to stop.... Some people NEVER accept reality... Some people... NEVER realize... when it's already too late....

I’ve seen this lots of times, but I recently learned that the feeling of having a “never ending to do list” is pretty common for a lot of people. And this really illustrates that well, and how the list drags you down eventually until you’ve given all you got

This is a metaphor for addiction, for anyone who didn't know. made this comment 1 year ago, haven't looked at it since. 11k likes???? ridiculous man! tysm!

UKpostsショートで流れてきてわざわざ調べてたどり着いた…何やってんだ…

I like how everyone has a different answer to explaining the moral of the story in this short film

Show this to ya grandma and her only takeaway will be is “I wish i could knit that fast”

Today is May 10, 2020 and first time to watch this for over 13 years ..

Why is no one talking about how brave she is to knit over a cliff Edit: OH MY TYSM

Her: causally knits almost falls off cliff Her: still knitting

Be honest. You didn't search for this. Edit: U guys, I just meant that this video somehow popped in your recommendations or u just stumbled on it. I mean honestly how would u even search this? This isn't a content that would usually pop in your mind and be like, "hey i wanna watch a video like that"😂

16 Years ago and the animation is still outstanding, i want to say more, THIS is even better, than some other modern cartoons of big companies

17 August 2006?? OMG!! Who's here in 2019??

Plot twist: She wanted to be in the world's record book.

i remember seeing this animation a long time ago and now I've finally found it. It's so nostalgic

Saw this video long back when it was newly posted. And here I am today almost after 1.5 decades and this video still teaches us some important and unsaid facts to LIVE A LIFE FOR OURSELF! ❣️

I was afraid she was gonna cut her fingers off😂 Don't do drugs Stay sober

I think that what they want to show is simple : - when you go obsessed with something (passion, money, love...) will start to be more a problem that something you enjoy. The fact is that human being constantly try to fix things , fix your own problems, even if you see that it “attracts you to the ground”. When something overtake your time and do not bring happiness to you : leave it away. Just stop. Don’t try to fix and loose all your energy. But at the end of the movie, you see that she is bored and wants to do something. For me, it seams that human being need “problems” in their life, passion, even if it causes you damages. It is human being. We prefer that than be bored. What do you think ?

An outstanding piece of animation on several levels. I was transfixed. Well done!

16 years ago and yet I still watch it every day like 60 or 70 times.

I didn't know this was a metaphor for addiction until I read the comments, otherwise I thought she was passing time with knitting in a drum line solo sounding way

things you are addicted to can put you in danger. thats the lesson

17 years ago and the animation is still outstanding Edit: Happy new year!

Absolutely mind blowing! I LOVED IT!

Yo I thought she was gonna cut off her fingers in the end😳😅

So we ain't gonna talk about how she went to the edge of a cliff to knit?

Coming back to my old UKposts favorites, and this still stands the test of time. Amazing short film, and a good lesson to learn.

Can’t believe it’s already been 17 years since this came out

I think this story is about how people tend to keep on emotionally invest in something that they should have ended a long time ago, ...whether it be career, a project, an unhealthy relationship, etc.. There are many opportunities to end it gracefully and begin a new chapter in life, but many simply refuse to do so. This emotional investment will eventually take hold of someone completely and drag him to an abyss of no return. And whilst it was easy to put a stop to it before, now it's out of control. One would get deeply entangled and can't get out, just like what happened to this woman in the short film. But if you are lucky and do struggle free, you would realized it was by your own hands, stubbornness and refusal to let go that you have caused yourself such a tremendous amount of grief. When you do let go, it's freedom.

after 14 years youtube said ,,let's recomand this to Molly"

For 17 years ago, it looks animated from a few years ago

*Legend says* *Thats how Rapunzel got her haircut*

Why is no one talking about how brave she is to knit over a cliff- Edit: OH MY TYSM

I feel like this is how we getting addicted to technology and more focused by it that we didn't recognize we're already destroying ourselves and this is absolutely a good example!

15 years ago and the animation is still outstanding

"Why is this in my recommendation?" - It's about addiction, go figure.

moral of the story: dont be redhead

When Rapunzel gets old

Everyone: this is a metaphor for addiction Me: damn that beat is good

WHAT IS SHE MAKING-

I kinda wish they made more of this like part 2

Moral of the story: Get more knitting supplies and figure out where the hek you are.

“Wow that was such a good metaphor for addiction!” *proceeds to continue UKposts Binge for an extra 4 hours.*

I've been a knitter since I was 9. Now in my 60s.... My friends and family would say YES THAT KAREN!!!!😂😂😂😂

Yohoooo 2023

Moral of the story : Never take your grandma to the edge of a cliff.

moral of story: stay away from cliffs when you knit and do not make scarfs for giants.

The greatest thing about this animation is everyone can view this individually and make their own moral story...

REPUNZEL IS JEALOUS💀

Moral of the story: don't be obsessed with things that are bad like drugs

1:02 She is going to pick up the scessior to stop her addiction but end up with picking the another wool..... Thats why in the end she regrets of not using the scessior

16yrs ago❤️🙏🏻

really? She used her hair as a scarf?

I think the story means , like something is not bad but get addicted in something is dangerous .

Moral of the story: Use better conditioner for stronger hair

I watched this 15years ago and it is still so good!!

It took her nearly her life to get rid of an addiction. Great video shown by UKposts algo. I don't know why? May be because I was mindlessly scrolling on and onblike she was knitting on and on...... Thanks a lot.

What I really want to know is why she decided to sit on the edge of a cliff and knit🤨🤔

At least she did a great job of knitting her own dress.

Love this. Seems so appropriate when watching some of the youtube knitters...expect them to go over edge any day

2024

My mom and my aunts loved this video so much! They showed me this video when I was so young and I always loved it. Now my mom has passed away but this video will forever be one of my memories for her. Everytime I want to feel nostalgic I look at this so thank you so much!

I mean even if she falls she'll still have her giant pool of scarfs underneath her... lol

I don't like how for a split second she looks at her wrist while holding the scissors. She started with her fingernails. I hope she doesn't go any further because there's nothing around her besides her clothes, what's left of her hair and a little bit of weeds. I think her first habit was fine if it wasn't for the cliff. Now her second habit has sharp pointy scissors and she's looking around and on herself just to find something to cut... I'm glad the video stops there because I think the story would have gotten a lot darker.

why did she just decide to see at a CLIFF and not somewhere else??

Outstanding short animation! Good job to all involved.

Lesson: dont knit beside a cliff

me: didnt understand the meaning of the story also me: find the meaning from those comments

Como é triste a compulsão, pois mesmo se livrando do tricor, onde essa obsessão levou pedaço dela (cabelos), acaba encontrando outro vício. O problema nunca foi o tricô, e sim o comportamento obsessivo compulsivo

Weird I find this 15 years later when I first saw this I was still in high-school. Nothing changed. My obsession still kills me, and yet I could never throw it over the edge.

My school actually showed us this and said this is what addiction is like.

The person who made this must be very angry right now seeing his work getting attention after 13 fookin years

Habits and hobbies are like cobwebs in the beginning. 🕸️ Later they become harder than Steel cables. One should know when to do and when to stop in addition to knowing where to do it. 😳

I've watched this video when I was a kid and then now I found it again brings so much memories back... ❤️17 years ago..?

Published date Aug 17 2006.. I m watching on Aug 17 2019..!!! Exact 13 years🎉😀

UKposts recommended me it after 13 years long.........Who else is here in 2020, July

I can relate to this because I think that I’m going to be hooked to this one thing for my whole life and then move on to my next fascination a week later

the best one. Use it many times for training purposes since last five years

I watched this with my 11-year old sister. She quickly realized that the character was addicted (to knitting) and that although she finally was able to cut her ties (her hair) with her addiction, she never really got over the addiction, because she then began cutting her nails upon contact with the scissors. She (my sister) also regarded the setting of the story as paramount to the fact that those who suffer from addiction have that kind of isolation which brings them further to danger.

You know the old saying, never knit a scarf at the edge of a cliff.

Pov:You watch that in 2023: 👁️ 👁️ 👄

16 years and yet the best animation out there

3:34 Rapunzel 50 years later

It is look more scary then indian horror serials..😆😆
