@Eatcha: Reverted: At Youtube, it is clearly marked as CC-BY, with the additional statement of "No attribution required". Yes, that is inconsistent. But CC-BY minus the BY is NOT the same as CC-0. {{Copyrighted free use}} might work, or based on the video title and description you might even think about something like {{PD-author}} (maybe ask at COM:VP/C). In any case: unless they specifically mention CC-0, it is not CC-0. --El Grafo (talk) 11:29, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment - I don't really understand the bias against advertising in images on Commons. Some advertising images are surely among the more important ones in contemporary society. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:49, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

• @Ikan Kekek: I can accept a limited amount of advertising when it would be difficult to remove from an image or video without distorting the appearance of the principal subject. An example where this would apply would be the back of a vehicle which has a logo of the vehicle's manufacturer. But the text in this video at 1:48 seems unnecessary to me, and detracts from my enjoyment of the content. --Pine (✉) 01:11, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, but to me this feels like a lukewarm serving of the same old tropes that have been around since before Tom and Jerry, garnished with a modern animation style. There's not a single new idea in this. It doesn't manage to make me care about the characters. Maybe I've watched too many cartoons when I was young, but this is very very meh for me. --El Grafo (talk) 11:59, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

• On second thought, "same old" might be a feature rather than a bug from an educational POV and the animation is actually pretty good. Switching to  Neutral --El Grafo (talk) 13:23, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Support.--Vulphere 04:03, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
•  Support The main plot involves a dust bunny rescuing their friends from a vaccum, and kicking her out of the house thereafter. There are real tensions, and some cartoon logics. Still way better than Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Definitely quality animation. Featuring this could receive a broader audience than featuring some random untranslated German gatherings.

•  Comment @Lucasbosch: I've added the video to Category:Rolling shutter to highlight this problem. However I afraid this issue will persist unless I use some (expensive) CCD-based equipment. At the moment the only CCD-based camcorder I have is a Panasonic from 2003, using MiniDV as recording medium. Tomskyhaha (talk) 03:37, 7 June 2019 (UTC) P.S.

•  Comment@Lucasbosch: The closeups are not random. I was giving closeups to the grapes which the narrator was describing. BTW I wonder why we've featured several gathering videos in Germany as "today's video" in last month. I don't have any objections besides the featurings are maybe "too frequent"?
