Ratings and reviews

I like the animation and I appreciate the hard work Disney creators have put into this short film. I love their films where there are just emotions expressed; leaving a lot of room for interpretation. I see the male and female Blank characters fighting for their love for each other. The male goes on an arduous, but adventurous journey with the hope of one day finding his true love. It's like us searching for Jesus, our True Love. I disagree with film's preview's motto, "my life, my rules, my destiny". As a Christian, kids need to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. They need to know that God knows the best and only way to live. That is by obeying The Lord God and reading His love letter to them which is The Bible. JESUS IS THE GOOD NEWS!! He came to this Earth, never did anything wrong, but wanted to save us from His Father's (God's) wrath by suffering and dying on the cross. In doing so, he redeemed us from our sins all because He loves us so much. He wants us to live his way, by his rules because he has a special purpose for each of us. This is The Good News of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is Love. His love gives us color (hope and faith).

Hay muchos que dirán que no hubo mensaje y que fue tiempo desperdiciado, pero, el mensaje era que si tu deseas algo con todas las ganas lo conseguirás, que si tu ayudas recibirás ayuda, que todos somos diferentes pero especiales (en el sentido de que cada quien tiene su forma de ser y somos únicos) Me gusto mucho porque además tuvo un final feliz porque sus amigos vivieron felices tanto como ellos.

The concept of this piece: silent, with model animation, results in a beautiful final product. The music is communicative and endearing; however the characters have less dimension than the material they are made out of. The protagonist and his love interest are trite and unimaginative, and the plot is completely predictable. With other shorts such as Birds or even the conception vid for 9 creating characters with which audience can identify and empathize being more commonplace, this newer piece leaves a lot to be desired.
