    Most fathers want to give their daughters the world. This father gave his daughter the universe.
  • @drewmiller8825
    Respect for the creator for being able to make me cry without having a single word in the video
  • @imawolfygirl
    I cried. I'll just come out and say it. When the dad died, I broke out in tears because you don't realize how important your loved ones are until they're gone. And to have your dreams crushed right before that? So sad. Beautiful animation though!
  • That moment when she landed on the moon and remembered herself running into her father's arms wearing the shoes he gifted her! It just wrecked my heart inside out! 😭😭
  • @user-hx9dc3xb9y
    When she was in her father’s arms she imagined she was on the moon. When she was on the moon she imagined being in her father’s arms.
  • @idk.man_
    Everybody here talking about how important it is to follow your dreams and stuff, but for me the real message here is to take a break and spend time with your loved ones. Yeah, you gotta follow ur dreams but always remember that they were the ones that were supporting u even before u knew u had a dream
  • Even though Luna didn’t always show how much her father meant to her later on, you could tell she really appreciated him. Sometimes we can get so lost focusing on one dream that we forget the important things in life, but that doesn’t mean we love someone any less. Always show how much you care to your loved ones because time is precious. What a beautiful theme.
  • 3years ago i watched this nd i cried .. Of fear of losing my dad .. While now after losing my dad in covid i watched it again to gain the strength that she gained
  • When your growing old sometimes you forget your parents are to, go tell them you love them and give them a hug

    I remember watching, 'One Small Step,' a couple of years ago. It is hands down one of the most inspiring things for me. To anyone out there, who knows the Pain of losing a Father, a family member. Please, don't let pain consume you all the time. I lost my Dad 2 years ago and it nearly destroyed me. He was like the Sun of my entire world with an infectious, larger than Life presence. Letting go has never been easy. The hardest part of ending is Starting Again. Remember to breathe. You're only human. Remember that there will always be a piece of them in You, always! Be grateful for the moments you had with them. And, Wherever they may be in the Universe, known or Unknown, send them Love. :') It's okay...You're okay. Kudos to each and every person who was involved in making 'One Small Step,🫡☺️
  • @lhalalalusin12
    This is actually so sweet. Im glad Luna had more dedication after her father passed, she didnt realise how much he meant to her. I bet hes proud of her ❤
  • @Aenwynnn
    why do I keep clicking on animated shorts that I know will make me cry like a baby
  • Me at the start: Aw😊 Half way: don'tcrydon'tcrydon'tcry After half way: full on crying End: still crying but happy
  • @roseaseph3057
    One little thing I realized is that the guys next to her in class was there the second time as well, which mean he probably had to retake the class too. I think it can often feel like others around us are doing amazing while we're drowning, but no one is perfect
  • No matter how many times I see it, I will always end up crying with melancholy, my respects to those of us who have lost our parents.
  • @Minizemful
    "How fast do you want your viewers to cry?" Taiko Studio's: Yes
  • Dads want the best for their kids this brought me to tears. Who else wanted to go up to their dad and give him the greatest hug ever after the video?
  • From a medical student, thank you for your content! Med school studying is not nearly as hard when your videos keep me accountable! To everyone else reading the comments, keep going. I do not know what struggles you are handling, I do not know what you are studying, but there is a reason you were put on THIS PATH and I know you can handle it! Stay blessed y'all.
  • THIS broke me... He was always in her corner, supporting her dream from the moment she had it in her mind. He watched her excitement, her determination, her struggles, her frustration, her sadness... But he never lost faith in her potential to succeed... She was the shuttle, and he was her fuel to reach the moon and stars... Beautiful animation and story. A mastercraft in storytelling
