Watch this! (The Butterfly Dragon)

It's a really beautiful animation, and the background music is perfect.

My interpretation of it (I know someone already posted something like this, but this is my version)

The small dragon (assuming it's female) is still a child, and the butterfly represents time, or experiences. The mother wakes up and watches the child, but she doesn't spend time to play with her, or enjoy the time they have left before the child turns into an adult. When the child follows the butterfly to the cliff, it turns into a dragon on the other side, representing an adult. The child is unsure of the transition between childhood and adulthood, and when she jumps and falls, that could represent the rocky time in-between. The dragon rescues her, and gives her a mask to make. When the child puts a paw on the mask, and draws on it, it could mean 'looking through the world with new eyes'. The child then returns to the mother, 'grown up', and gives her a mask as well. The mask could mean that the child wants her mother to look through the world as she does, but the mother doesn't realize that the child has 'grown up'. The child then turns into the butterfly dragon (representing an adult), and flies away, while the mother looks on, regretting the time that they haven't spent together.


Fact Friday:
Hmm... perhaps a bacon alternative for vegetarians?
