'LA LUNA': Three Stars (Out of Five)
Another Pixar animated short film, this one debuted in theaters before 'BRAVE' and was nominated for a 'Best Animated Short Film' Oscar at last year's Academy Awards. It tells the story of a boy, named Bambino, who goes to work with his father and grandfather for the first time one night. The three sail far out to sea and board the moon in order to clean up fallen stars on it. The boy's father and grandfather disagree on how to train Bambino and he must decide which one's instructions to follow or to do the job his own way. It was written and directed by first time filmmaker Enrico Casarosa and is spoken all in gibberish. The movie is pretty odd but without a doubt creative and original. I liked it's uniqueness but didn't find that much to really enjoy in the story. The characters aren't really developed enough to relate to or find inspiration from but it is only a 7 minute cartoon. It does have that classic old school cartoon feel to it and is quirky and somewhat oddly amusing. Not a great little short film but a decent one.
