Synopsis

THE LADDER is the official music video for the song by Andrew Belle. It is the story of boy-Andrew's journey to regain possession of his magical keys, which have been nabbed by a fox. Andrew chases the fox through forests, oceans, caves, outer-space, and erupting volcanoes in hopes of recovering his magical keys (which when planted, help him out of precarious situations). The song itself paints a picture of the importance of emotional and physical distance, timing and circumstance in love and relationships. The music video is meticulously hand-animated in order to evoke the delicate nature of love without explicitly presenting a typical relationship.
