Parents as People
 Far From the Tree / int_20989d05
comment
Parents as People: Papa is harsh and mean, but he also lost an eye to a coyote, and wants to protect his daughter from an outside world that wants to literally swallow her whole. Unfortunately, he fails to communicate why, and the kit's natural curiosity leads her into trouble. Years later, Marie, now an adult with a child of her own, repeats her father's mistakes until she catches herself and takes the time to show her child why they have to be cautious, before exploring the beach together.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting
 Far From the Tree / int_3039ffc7
comment
Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting: Marie's father was extremely harsh and overprotective with her when teaching her how to make her way in the world. After she becomes a mother, she recognizes that she is repeating her father's behavior, and adopts a more gentle, diplomatic approach with her own child.

Would Hurt a Child: The coyote immediately attacks young Marie when it sees her. Of course, it is a predator, and when a predator sees what looks like an easy meal, it has no reason to not go right for it.

Meaningful Name: The short's title is a reference to the old saying, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", showing how Marie very nearly ended up becoming like her overprotective father. The name Marie has multiple meanings, including "rebellious" and "from the sea."

What Happened to the Mouse?: Papa is never seen again after the Time Skip. Considering that years have passed, and Marie is an adult when she returns, it's very likely he died at some point.

Because I Said So
 Far From the Tree / int_8776162d
comment
Because I Said So: Deconstructed. Marie's father doesn't explain or show her why she has to stay in the cave, just dragging her back and snapping at her every time she leaves it. Marie, who is very eager to explore this exciting new environment, keeps running off and learns the hard way why her father was being so protective. Later, she almost does the same thing to her own child, but then realizes that this approach isn't helping anyone, so instead she takes her child to the tree and shows them the coyote and gestures to her scar. Once he's given actual context and an explanation, the child understands and obeys, only venturing out with his mother and thus staying safe.

Rule of Symbolism
 Far From the Tree / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: After Papa furiously scolds Marie for going out when he told her not to and nearly getting killed by a coyote, the camera shows them sitting on the tree branch as far away from each other as physically possible. Papa shatters a seashell Marie finds as a way to exert his control over her. Years later, Marie gifts her own child with a seashell as way of showing her being a better parent than her father was. At the end of the short, Marie and her own child are sitting on the same branch, but they are close together and listening to the waves of the seashell.

Good Parents: When Marie grows up, she has a kit of her own. She initially repeats her father's mistake when she gets angry at her child for nearly getting eaten by a coyote, but when she realizes that she's scaring him, she catches herself and takes a more nurturing approach. She calmly shows her child the coyote from a safe distance and then points to her scar to explain why he shouldn't go out.

Abusive Parents: Of the emotional variety; Papa scolds Marie not just out of worry, but for every single infraction, no matter how small. He snaps at her for attempting to replicate the way he's digging for clams, destroys a seashell that she finds, and doesn't comfort her after the ordeal with the coyote. She nearly follows his example with her own child before deciding to break the cycle.

Ambiguously Absent Parent: Marie's mother is never seen. Neither is Marie's mate when she grows up and becomes a parent herself, although the latter makes more sense, as real life raccoons are not monogamous and mothers raise the kits alone.

 Far From the Tree / int_e3cee2e7
comment
Empathic Environment: At the beginning, the sky is a bright cloudless blue, reflecting Marie's optimism and excitement to explore the world. Dark storm clouds gather during Marie's terrifying confrontation with the coyote, all the way up to Papa rescuing her and then angrily scolding her for nearly getting killed. Even after the danger passes, the sky does not clear because their negative feelings haven't resolved; Marie is shaken by what she went through and terrified of Papa's wrath, and he doesn't make a move to comfort her. After the Time Skip, the sky is still lightly overcast when Marie is being fearful of the world and overprotective of her own kit, like her father was. The sky turns bright blue again when Marie and her child are having fun together. As the short ends, they watch a beautiful sunset and hold a seashell to listen to the sounds of the sea.

Anger Born of Worry
 Far From the Tree / int_f4b1129f
comment
Anger Born of Worry: Papa flips out when Marie runs off, understandably so since disobeying him is what led to the kid getting hurt. Deconstructed, as his "do as I say and don't question me" approach fails to actually prevent her from getting hurt in the first place, and getting shouted at after the fact just makes the damage worse. Later, the now-adult Marie nearly does the same thing to her own child, until she catches herself making the same mistake, and switches to a gentler, more understanding approach.
