I didn't realize it until I put on my headphones but the little boy is whimpering as the girl pulled him off the nail. I thought it was the girl making that noise at first. I think the little father was moving the floorboard trying to save his son but the girl accidentally killed him by forcefully pulling him off the nail. I also noticed the cotton ball, bandage, and q-tips in the tiny bag which I thought at first the boy was trying to steal but maybe it was the father trying to steal it to save his son.

I blame the little son for not moving away when the nail was being pounded. I bet the son was looking up shocked instead of moving away

Instant reminder of the dolls in tales from the hood.. they bring so much to the table this animation. Both wonder, curiosity, art of course as well as fear.. for the simple fact they can be in spots you wouldn’t notice ñ can hide easily. This was a look into a wrld of curiosity. Sometimes stories don’t need a villain in the sense of nazis for example. Sometimes a misunderstanding does all that for you. This wasn’t the human dad was bad type of thing, juss an accident but it didn’t matter. Another dad seeking revenge made an attempt ñ got dealt with. I love that you had the parents notice this. Literally 1 in a million choice which pays off. More horror movies need this. Part of what makes movies interesting with it’s characters ñ especially in horror is reactions. As an audience member we always notice something but when we notice a character also notice.. it’s peaks our interest ñ depending on the medium makes it eerie to a degree. Judging by the way the underground neighborhood started opening their shit it looks more hostile than anything.. very interesting. It’s obvious the parents knew of them ñ I wonder for how long, why they didn’t say anything to the daughter or to them.. theres ZERO way they didn’t notice. But I love this concept. I’ve always had this love for smaller spaces. Those books I spy started this for me. There were always spaces I wish I could crawl into to explore ñ what not. A pot of mystery, uneasiness but wonder nonetheless. Great job ñ for a 5 minute video, that’s hard to pull off but at the same time it does benefit you. I honestly wouldn’t even need to see a continuation of this. Would be dope if y’all did other videos of the same thing but changed up. Have other littles elsewhere in different parts of a house/apartment/where ever in different situations. Without telling the background story you can kind of piece together a similar story they would all share.. in our eyes it’s creepy these things or can be. Even in a disney movie they would be creepy at first til proven friendly but in their eyes, we’re creepy/harmful ñ are giants after all.. hella interesting lookin at it from that angle if y’all did more of these without necessarily continuing each story. It was perfect the way you ended it. There could definitely be a bigger story at play without having to tell it.. “anyway that’s really about it, see ya” 😅😉

How do the nail get her through their ceiling.. was she floating in the air against the ceiling. That made no sense.

We are the Littles,
Always running two and fro,
We are the Littles,
We're living with you,
Don't you know?

We keep escaping from the outside,
Tom makes us think we gotta hi-ide,
We use a pencil for a slide,
Here come the Littles so you better watch out!

They go from nation to destinaton,
With their friends and insperation,
Come in and join the celebration,
You can't stop The Littles cause The Littles don't stop!
