Young Emily didn’t see anything wrong with her drawing of two girls holding hands, but her mother saw otherwise and tore both the paper and her child’s heart in two. Little did they know, the drawings had come alive and are determined to reunite with one another across the vast bedroom of pages, no matter what risk comes their way. An adventurous and heartwarming tale, “Drawn to You” shows audiences both the struggles and joy that comes with being true to your heart, and not letting others tell you who to be.

    10M views!!! Wow, what a birthday gift for me for us to hit this benchmark today of all days haha. Thank you so much for all the loving support over the years. I think I speak for my team when I say we never really expected our little student short film to make it this far, but we're so happy our story could reach so many people worldwide. Be sure to keep supporting other LGBTA+ short films out there too! Spread the love ❤ -Eleanor and the Drawn to You team

    The guy didn’t even act like an antagonist he just didn’t quite get it
  • @apphyz2928
    Stick man at the end was like: Y’ALL WERE TALKING SMACK ABOUT ME BUT NOW I GOT A MAN!!”
  • This entire video reminds me of a news article I read- “Lesbian woman escapes Russia by boat to be with woman she loves.”
  • @vanillashaake
    The drawn boy is so sweet about everything, just "Hii!" the whole time. I love him.
  • @cupidboyz
    Everyone's talking about how the stickman got a boyfriend but I'm crying because overtime, the mom began to understand and supported her daughter.
  • @gabrielle6601
    Fun fact : This video is just a drawing inside a drawing inside a drawing
  • @kaialter9990
    THE MOTHER'S DOODLE GETTING HIS OWN BOYFRIEND IS SOOO CUUUTEEEE 😩😩😩😩😩😩
  • The fact that there was a picture of her and her mom holding abridge flag together and showing that her mom came around in the end was such a touching part of the ending for me
  • Everyone: Stick boy got boyfriend, wowzers. The girl: Got a girlfriend and went to a pride parade after her mom accepted her
  • @boonybon
    The adorable naive boy at the start: He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit.
  • @4DD3R
    the fact that all the other drawings helped her out
  • @Oldaccount1931
    To people who dont know, the stickman found another stickman and they became boyfriends
  • @mintgreen5869
    I'm so glad she drew the guy a lil boyfriend instead of throwing him away.
  • @Jarod-te2bi
    if your parent don’t understand or stop loving you, YOUR not the problem! They are ignorant of what love is, love isn’t defined by rules or blood relations, love is love ❤️, you’re not weird or broken because you’re a girl who loves a girl, or a guy loves a guy, or if you were born in the wrong sex. You’re different and that’s what makes you a beautiful thing. Remember to love & help yourself before you love and help others and always remember. There is a rainbow at the end of the storm.🌈🇨🇦😎✌️
  • @Cixzag
    It pisses me off the fact that the mother instead of just saying something, she ripped her daughter's drawing in half, like c'mon, YOUR DAUGHTER DREW THAT
  • @exar7007
