This...this horse...I can FEEL this horse. So eloquent and so intelligent on the inside, yet so broken and backwards on the outside. It reminds me of myself, to a degree. God speed, Mr. Sphere-Horse.


ur fursonah is an horshe... get itt????? hueheuhe

Adam and David are two of the few "youtubers" I would actually watch a "collab" of...

Well, I'd be pretty disturbed if I saw that horse

Well, at least this isn't as disturbing as Cool Cat

I love that you love David O'Reilly.....and the horsies.


As ridiculous as this video is, he still puts in the time to make the animation of the other horses is super smooth and look really good.

On this animation the mere thought that you didn't bother to animate something for whatever reason could be perceived by critics as laziness, or lack of talent. If he didn't bother animating the other horses perfectly, other people could just say the plot was an excuse to do a bad animation and sparing oneself from the critics.

As it is right now, nobody can say that he is a bad animator because everybody can see otherwise.


I relate to this so much. I love this guy's animations. So silly on the outside, but when you dig a little deeper, think a little smarter, and there's a whole world of possibility in these aninated works of art.


Holy fucking shit this horse is me and I'm having an existential nightmare


David, I'm a writer. I'm Mexican and I'm living in London; there's nothing that I'd love to more than writing something worthy of your animation talents. I truly love what you do.


And the moral of the story is: The only way to succeed in life is to scorn people that are different from you.  Thanks "Horse Raised By Spheres".  You've put me back on track.

I have a similar problem, actually.  My internal self is different than how I act externally.  Like, my voice and vocabulary in my head seems brilliant, but when I speak, I sound a bit nasally and not as articulate with words.  I come off as socially awkward, and I act shy and nervous around people, yet in my mind I'm bold and powerful.  I guess that's where writing has really helped me, as it lets my inner self be read.

M. Strain Jr. oh god... it’s weird how we all share the same thing isn’t it?

The Joke in the video is not the social awkwardeness of the horse, is the fact that he was litterally raised by spheres

M. Strain Jr. I draw and write poetry some words I can't say I have a bit of a speech unpetament

+Sol Riccieri Glad to know there's someone else.  =)

My god, thank you. That happens to me, and I hate how people avoids me or treats me like a freak because I just can't express myself truly and correctly. I do write, too. Pencils and papers are my connection to what's on my mind and reality.


Wow. That was so intense. The part that was meant to be funny was more like totally depressing. I recognize myself as that horse. I don't know you, David, but since I played Everything, I've been amazed by all your works.


The horse reminds me of me when I used to be a horse.

Spastic horse.  Not retarded.  Big difference.


Well, this musta been easy to animate. :p And as usual, I always wonder where this guy finds these voice actors from? LOL! I love the mental image of this well-read, experienced actor in a booth going "EeeeuuuuUUUgggghhhHHhhh!!!"


Can`t say nothing except of: "It`s the masterpiece, David, like you always do."


Pretty much describes my social life in school. Being the "quiet kid" I'm sort of conflicted, because if I act more social people will think I'm weird but if I continue to stay the way I am people will still think I'm weird.

1st time: Can't stop laughing
2nd: Start flies by; Is somewhat disturbed.
3nd: A tear falls slowly down my cheek.


One day the horse may realize that the other horses are simply too narrow minded to comprehend and appreciate his brilliance. He may find a way to communicate to other (horses - creatures) that have minds more structured toward philosophy and higher level thinking and can subsequently relate to his struggles. Possibly through creative expression. A cartoon maybe................


It's silly, but I was legit about to cry before 1:41 - I just relate to it so much. And, I mean, I also relate to the horse fumbling around and everything, but not so...literally.

@kurayamidesu Sigh... I feel the same way..


At least we now know why the animals roll around like this in Everything.


Hilarious. A transform vs deform joke turned into something lovely :-)


Dude I like your work. Of course, this is weird to many people, yes- but that's because they don't understand it or won't take the time to try. I can see how you made this relatable to everyday life, and I can honestly say I couldn't agree more. Many people are percieved as being different, strange, obnoxious, not good enough etc. This was hilarious and I appreciate it.


Oh look,someone made my social life into a horse


Crazy as it sounds, I actually know a horse like this

+OhNo Same! Lmao. I actually have a mare that reminds me so much of this horse. She has a weird dis-formed eye and is blind on one side, which also causes her to fall down a lot when she spooks or gets too excited. On top of this, she's a bit of an awkward horse and has a hard time being accepted into the herd, maybe because is shy or possibly because her eye freaks the other horses out. I'm not sure, lol. But this video reminded me so much of her, I was laughing so hard.

@Chihirolee3 Just looked that up - that is hilarious I have to watch that!<br>No the horse I know is a real life horse, believe it or not. He walks normally, but everything else is the same as this horse

@Chihirolee3 Just looked that up - that is hilarious I have to watch that!

+B-poptosis Does he also appear in Bravest Warriors?


I love how O Reilly used the same rolling horse movement in his game "Everything"


The only logical step after making this was to make a game based on the same ideas. Well done, Mr. O’Reilly.


i love when things get insane, i love this genius!


"The elegant delicate dance of dialogue from one friend to another"


Well, this is definitely the most normal video I've watched all day!


WHY IS THIS, AND ALSO SOME OF YOUR OTHER VIDEOS UNLISTED? WE NEED THEM BACK IN THE WORLD


The eloquence and interweaving of the dialog is on par with Kevin Brighting.


This is the most accurate representation of my life I have ever seen


i took magic mushrooms while hanging out in kentucky, listening to an alan watts lecture. it was JUST like this


Clearly the 3 horses were scared for their safety by the infinite energy the globe-horse was using to move in such a discontinuous fashion. I mean, what if he were to teleport into them? They might perish!


Would a sphere raised by horses be more sad?


The absence of shadows actually adds to the simplistic appearance and the style of the animation. If the trees and the horses had shadows it would be a lot more crowded and complex. Less IS more.

Edit: spelling mistakes, damn phone keyboard.

He also is unrealistic in several other ways. At least like 3 or 4. Maybe even more.


When you realized that rolling animation and button eyes are standard in Everything.


I'm so sad the site no longer works :( can we see the other videos from it at all, please? They were so good


This is the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen.


In the universe of Everything he would perfectly fit in.


This sums up my offline life so depressingly well.


I like that it didn't have a happy end. That makes it more realistic.


I was thinking-- 4-leg walk cycles are a pain in the aaaasss, how's he gonna pull this off??


I had my parent's computer blasting the audio at 80 and then they started swearing. o.o


turns out he <b>CAN</b> actually animate them moving normally. he just chose not to :L

turns out he *CAN* actually animate them moving normally. he just chose not to :L


I felt like watching a legacy of kain cutscene, but then it happend.


I didn't knew I was a horse, that explains so much.


i think this is an inspiration source for a paralized horse character from the bravest warriors cartoons


I'm kinda hoping this gets into Ottowa this year


0:08 but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs but he keeps on spaghetti what he wrote down


Sometimes I think i were raised by spheres.


I know this horse. he does get annoying when he gets in his head and he is at the bottom of the horse hierarchy in the pasture.  so accurate.


Don't be mean to him! He's special...SPECIAL


At 1:50 you can almost see a cat on the ground, the shading I mean. Like, the shading resembles a sideways cat if you look at it right.


Discord during Keep Calm and Flutter On in a nutshell.

@GashPlague You can't really blame MLP fans for thinking of MLP when something horse-related comes up, not any more than you can blame a Harry Potter fan for making some sort of Harry Potter reference whenever there's a witch or a wizard or something magic-y happening.

It clearly says "THE <b>HORSE</b> RAISED BY SPHERES".  Not everything is about ponies.

It clearly says "THE *HORSE* RAISED BY SPHERES".  Not everything is about ponies.


Is this possibly an inspiration for the paralyzed horse from bravest warriors?


This vaguely reminds me on Beth's horse from Bravest Warriors


today on watchmojo.com we're counting down the top 10 saddest animes of all time


This made me sad because I was once like this horse.

@***** You used to walk bouncing weirdly?


I don't know what this is, but I'm glad it exists


<b>Sobs</b> This is just like my life.  ...In a way.

*Sobs* This is just like my life.  ...In a way.


non award winning indeed,because it's an award itself.


Where can I see THE FRACTALS??? It was your best and now it's gone forever??? You have no right! The art is no longer yours once you show it to the world. Give us THE FRACTALS back.


This horse needs guidance, something, someone...


WHAT DJD I JUST WATCH IM IN PHYSICAL PAIN LAUGHING SO HARD


I feel like this represents people with disabilities


4.7k likes. 47 dislikes.

That's satisfying.


You think yourself articulate and dignified. There is an image of yourself in your mind. But no matter how well the portrait is painted it doesn't matter unless you have the ability to communicate and share it. How many times have we thought our feelings obvious or our thoughts projected, only for them not to be noticed or even misinterpreted?


This is extremely funny but I also feel bad for that horse


starting to use those viewport 2.0 features?? i see some depth of field which is new for you (although I guess this is a year old so not that new)


ahh I feel the horse pain people don't think I am intelligent except for people who TRULY knows me


Are you trying to kill people?
I nearly died of laughter.
Seriously.

Oh, this comment is a sort of spoiler by the way, don't read the leading comment in this thread before you watch this video.<br>Unless you... don't want to risk dying.

Make sure you guys are looking in that description, that link is very important...


Isn't this just the horse from Bravest Warriors?


Kinda like me in public, only the horse is less awkward.


then everything was created
No seriously it's a game.

*then everything was created*
No seriously it's a game.


On July 23rd, Youtube is going to private all unlisted videos that were uploaded before 2017, unless you opt out


So seeing as thehorseraisedbyspheres site is gone what's going to happen to all the videos you don't have posted on youtube/vimeo?

Hey! Where can I find the background music?


@xseq xqwe Thanks... I make my own lemonade too.

Happy Old Raccoon Sniffing Excrement... H.O.R.S.E


this vídeo basicaly describes me. I mean, im nervous about posting this comment... should I post? Is my english good enough? why not post? of course i should post. people gona like it, people gona reply positively about it. people... will.. like? do i..? should.... how...? so... i don't... so nervous!


Why does this game keep extending beyond the game? e?


Hey so about that Everything game amirite


Well uh...that was a video that's for sure...


The source of Everything’s animal æsthetic?


Thats one of them..... errrrr..... SPECIAL horses..... right? Yeah...


This is only cartoon about horses so why I am feeling so depressed now?

@Jalo Cat because everything you are is a product of your past! lmao


+jason leming What? Why are you disliking this? WHAT DOES WIDE CREATION MEEEEAAANNN


I read the title as "THE HORSE RAPED BY SPHERES".


Why are so many people saying the horse is retarded? He moves like that because he was raised by spheres and that's how spheres get around.

When I left this comment a year ago this comment section was full of people all saying "What's wrong with the horse? Why is he retarded?" They obviously didn't get the joke that he was trying to roll since he was raised by spheres and my comment was an explanation to these people.


Someone honestly needs to tell you this. This is crap. I spent a lot of time trying to find 'The External World' and was very happy to have found it again, but the rest are sorely lacking. What begins as a simple but interesting video, decends into immature noises, crap animation and then leaves you with no feeling. The point is clear but put across poorly. Just my opinion.
