New Pixar-Like Short Film About A Boy Coming Out Is Taking Internet By Storm Because, Well, Just Watch It
Get your tissues handy – you’re going to need them after watching In a Heartbeat. It’s a new animated short film that is absolutely breaking the Internet, and it’s so necessary in today’s climate of intolerance and hate.
In a Heartbeat was put together by Ringling College of Art and Design students Beth David and Esteban Bravo as their computer animation thesis, but it has now taken on much more of a life than just a school project. It deals with a young boy struggling to come to terms with his feelings for a handsome peer, a topic never previously explored by animated film, and features an adorable jumping heart that is just begging to be made into a new Pixar mascot. In just 4 minutes, it captures the experience of countless LGBTQ youth, and shows them that there’s nothing to be afraid of.
The Florida students managed to successfully crowdfund almost 5 times their original estimated costs to produce the film through Kickstarter, and their hard work is paying off. Since hitting YouTube, In a Heartbeat has racked up over 5 million views, and everyone watching it is begging for a sequel. Take in the touching short for yourself below, and find out what people are saying about it!

Absolutely independent of the content, quality, intention, and ramifications of this film, it is shocking to see how the commenting goes even here on Bored Panda, where people normally are not so close-minded and rather well-mannered. The unsubstantiated hatred is hard to endure. Why not criticise, argue against, provide alternatives? Just putting out hatred is something to be ashamed of. I know there are a few trolls who just enjoy writing what provokes angry replies. But those who just insult and communicate their hatred, how do they look into the mirror each morning? Some actually seem to have created accounts just for this purpose. What do they seek? I mean, they can neither "convince" someone (for they post no arguments) nor give the impression that there is a majority against a given position (since the hatred is way too scattered). I do not get it, but I think it is very sad.

Hans I get you. Bored Pandas comment system is really easy to abuse and the site gets flooded by lots of hateful comments latley. Often there is a much deeper agenda behind each comment - an article about painted Barbie leads to a rant how Islam destroys western civilization, an article about a cute child how LGTBQs are horrible. Bored Panda is not the feel-good place anymore, I've already deleted my old account and I will delete this one too.

What!? An animated short that recognizes that the LGBTQ portion of the population is made of people just like you and I? I did get teared up watching this, because I remember my heart aching when I had my first crush when I was younger and because feeling that way makes you SO vulnerable. And you recreated that so beautifully here. Bravo, Pixar.

Why say this is a story about "coming out"? This is just a simple story about falling in love, we need to stop with all the labelling
Marlowe Fitzpatrik 8 years ago
You're right, it's about falling in love, and it should be just that. But whenever someone falls in love with someone from the same sex, the moment he or she does something about it is basically a coming out for them. Because there's at least one person now who knows about your preferences, and you make yourself vulnerable to ridicule or even hatred. It's why the boy tried so hard to catch his heart - he was scared of it being broken by someone else, maybe even smashed to dust. In the process, he ripped it apart. I love this little film, because without big words and big gestures, it says a lot. But yes, you're absolutely right - it's "just" about falling in love. You could make the same film with a boy and a girl, and it would be the same thing. The same fear of ridicule haunts everyone who falls in love with someone he/she thought above one's own "station". It is the same thing - So... why isn't it the same thing? It damn well should be!

If you think this gay thing is not how God meant things to be, ask yourself if God meant for anything in this world to be as it is today. God did mean for one thing to be though: love. Ah yeah and he also mentioned the not judging thing. Kinda relevant.

This isn't about sex. Kids at this age start to have crushes. This short shows 2 boys...so what. As a grown gay man, I still feel there are times when I should hold back the fact that I have a husband (though I don't) of 15 years. People can be so cruel and judgmental. I think about some of these ridiculous comments and if the boy in this short had read them they probably would push him back into the closet, because all he would see is a world of unacceptance. I hope that some of you don't end up with gay children, because it is a apparent that they won't be accepted. Sad, just sad.

I definitely don't like this short cut. When my son watched this which he found by coincidence, he said "it was disgusting" He was 14 year in that time. So, he knew that it was wrong to show it as something natural. Imagine that a boy who is 3 or 4 watch this thing without parents guidance. For that reason, parents must know what their children can find it on Internet. Therefore, it is very irresponsible to upload to youtube or any other webpage this short cut animation because of sexual predators who liar to a boy or girl every day using this kind of material. Take care of your children's innocence. Take care of their mind. They are angels. They deserve to be cared every time.

She invited my brother's boyfriend for christmas and gave him his own gift with "mr Firstname" handwritten on it.THIS IS NORMAL! Not kind, not sweet...just normal. Also i found it awkward when people find homo/trans/bi-sexuality, awesome, so cute or whatever, it is just normal. I hope that i will be still alive to see all the occidental world seeing this like a woman wearing a pair of jeans, little girls going to school and women voting: NORMAL! (sorry for my english btw)

This is actually a really wonderful thing. It's cute and beautiful. Yes it's G rated. And it should be. It says our relationships and loves are as normal as anyone else. I'm a huge animation fan. One of the staples of animation is the hero or heroine trying to find out if the object of their affection shares the same feelings. Why shouldn't gay youth have that as well? In some ways this short film is very Disneyesque and contains many of the same themes. And you know what? I absolutely love that!

OMG, I love this. Those who don't understand gay people don't get that this sometimes happens - even at a young age! For a gay person it is just as natural to have a crush on a person of the same sex as it is for heteros to be attracted to the opposite sex. Jesus Christ, can't people just be themselves without repercussion?

Well I guess my thoughts are, just like the comment in the beginning if this isnt the cutest thing you've have seen or something like that your wrong, is just so assuming. I kind have had the thoughts since a young person just live and be happy, but I find as I get older even that doesn't satisfy this community. Those who dont feel this way will NEVER totally understand it. We have OTHER feelings, so when someone says we believe we should live and let live with equal rights that should be good enough, but no, I get a thanks for allowing me to live. What do you all want what from the straight community. Its confusing when we see people swear they love the same sex then later marry the opposite sex. So there should be a little understanding both ways. If we say we say live equally that should be enough. Enough is enough ...you arent the only group picked on...

First of all: The title says "Pixar-Like", not "Pixar". Read, before you rant. Nontheless, there's no need to bash Pixar for not doing something like this, since the company isn't focused on JUST love stories. It's about gigantic adventures and personality changes of the characters in it. Love stories are part of their films, but it's usualy not the only aim. However, what makes you think they maybe will never add a gay couple? I mean, there are plenty of Pixar films where characters GET KILLED and it's the 21st century, so perhaps it's more plausible than you might think.

Not all beliefs are respectable. If you believe some people shouldn't have the same rights as you, then you don't hold a belief worthy of respect. Most likely if you are against same sex marriage then you are probably voting as such too, in which case you aren't even being tolerant. Some beliefs are harmful. Imagine if slave owners just said it was their belief. Belief is not a shield. If you don't agree with same sex marriage then just don't have one. It's not your business what other people do.

Whether you realize it or not, you are disrespectful towards them. Why are you bringing up having babies? Not everyone wants kids, even straight people. I'm a straight woman with a healthy reproductive system and I will never have kids because I don't want them. Is my sex wrong? Guaranteed you will say no. But what's the difference? I'm not making a baby. Ever. When you grow up you'll realize that sex is not just about baby making. Also gayness occurs in nature in every type of animal so it's clearly right in nature. Evolution has nothing to do with homosexuality. There's nothing wrong with gay sex, that's a stupid thing to say to justify your homophobia.

This is actually a really wonderful thing. It's cute and beautiful. Yes it's G rated. And it should be. It says our relationships and loves are as normal as anyone else. I'm a huge animation fan. One of the staples of animation is the hero or heroine trying to find out if the object of their affection shares the same feelings. Why shouldn't gay youth have that as well? In some ways this short film is very Disneyesque and contains many of the same themes. And you know what? I absolutely love that!

The angst of first love for ANY person is so emotional, and when you add the very real fear of misunderstanding gender clues, it must be so painful! This video reached my old, hetero heart in a beautiful way. We need to remove the stigma and labels and just let people love who they may. I hope this is the first of many such animated marvels! <3 <3

OMG, I love this. Those who don't understand gay people don't get that this sometimes happens - even at a young age! For a gay person it is just as natural to have a crush on a person of the same sex as it is for heteros to be attracted to the opposite sex. Jesus Christ, can't people just be themselves without repercussion?

Well I guess my thoughts are, just like the comment in the beginning if this isnt the cutest thing you've have seen or something like that your wrong, is just so assuming. I kind have had the thoughts since a young person just live and be happy, but I find as I get older even that doesn't satisfy this community. Those who dont feel this way will NEVER totally understand it. We have OTHER feelings, so when someone says we believe we should live and let live with equal rights that should be good enough, but no, I get a thanks for allowing me to live. What do you all want what from the straight community. Its confusing when we see people swear they love the same sex then later marry the opposite sex. So there should be a little understanding both ways. If we say we say live equally that should be enough. Enough is enough ...you arent the only group picked on...

The content is great but I wish we could move past this Pixar look of huge eyes, tiny noses and pouty lips. It embraces an impossible standard of beauty and you'd think such socially conscious creators would care about that.

I agree, but that was just the style of drawing. In this, we learn to not look to the body, but emotions.

I think this short film is remarkable and inspiring. For the "Christians" out there, take a look at this and think about your short-sighted and unGodly sentiments. https://youtu.be/3CPjWd4MUXs

My bestfriend and I were watching it together when it came out and I was in tears because its so sweet. She was also in tears and wouldn't stop spamming me about it and the same goes for me. It has to be the best short film I've seen. It just makes your heart squeeze and your chest feel tight just by watching it.

OMG. I thank you wholeheartedly for this very elaborate and detailed insight on the short film we have both recently watched. I am glad there are so many differing opinions in this comment thread for me to enjoy reading.

First of all: The title says "Pixar-Like", not "Pixar". Read, before you rant. Nontheless, there's no need to bash Pixar for not doing something like this, since the company isn't focused on JUST love stories. It's about gigantic adventures and personality changes of the characters in it. Love stories are part of their films, but it's usualy not the only aim. However, what makes you think they maybe will never add a gay couple? I mean, there are plenty of Pixar films where characters GET KILLED and it's the 21st century, so perhaps it's more plausible than you might think.

Not all beliefs are respectable. If you believe some people shouldn't have the same rights as you, then you don't hold a belief worthy of respect. Most likely if you are against same sex marriage then you are probably voting as such too, in which case you aren't even being tolerant. Some beliefs are harmful. Imagine if slave owners just said it was their belief. Belief is not a shield. If you don't agree with same sex marriage then just don't have one. It's not your business what other people do.

Whether you realize it or not, you are disrespectful towards them. Why are you bringing up having babies? Not everyone wants kids, even straight people. I'm a straight woman with a healthy reproductive system and I will never have kids because I don't want them. Is my sex wrong? Guaranteed you will say no. But what's the difference? I'm not making a baby. Ever. When you grow up you'll realize that sex is not just about baby making. Also gayness occurs in nature in every type of animal so it's clearly right in nature. Evolution has nothing to do with homosexuality. There's nothing wrong with gay sex, that's a stupid thing to say to justify your homophobia.

Stop being so unnecessarily "philosophical" about this. The children are not being sexualized in this. Get a grip of yourself, for goodness sakes!

It didn't claim to be intersectional. Are you going to complain every time you don't get an exact representation of yourself? Maybe the creators are gay anglo men and drawing on their experience, not yours.

Not everyone believes in sin or your god. You can't hold them to that standard. If you believe in a god that's against gay marriage, then don't be gay yourself. You can't expect everyone to practice your religion.

They didn't have sex or even kiss. They sat next to each other. Seemed more like friendship to me. You're the one thinking so deep about children having sex.

No, gay is normal but transgender is a hormone deficiency. It is called gender identity disphoria. But gay is normal. Completely natural.
