Do yourself a favor and take eight minutes of your day and watch one of those short, sweet animated films. Some will leave you with tears streaming down your face as you laugh (Presto) or cry (Bao, Partly Cloudy), others will wow you by watching stunning animation and music (La Luna and Sanjay’s Super Team) uplift the stories .
1. Bao: A surrealist tale, Bao is the story of an aging Chinese woman who has another chance to be a mother. By preparing baos, one of which comes alive as she prepares to bite into them, the woman has a revelation – she decides to adopt the bao, like his child, and what follows is a sincere montage of a developing bond between a mother and her child. The film delicately intervenes in the realm of overtly protective maternal love and how it affects both mother and child.
2. Day and night: This playful story juxtaposes the controversial relationship between day and night embodied by two buddies, is simple at first glance, but it draws deep truths, which speaks of accepting and celebrating the differences we see in the world.
3. For the birds: A flock of birds gathers on a telephone wire, sitting quietly when a large gangly blue bird decides to join them on the wire. Furious at the foreigner’s gall, which looks different, the flock performs all the tricks of the book to oust the bird from its “thread” and succeed, but it doesn’t take long before it faces the challenge. the consequences of his acts of intimidation and that we learn karma.
4. The Moon: A surreal and impressionistic coming-of-age story of generational Guardians of the Moon. The three generations, grandfather, father, induct the new generation, the son, in the family business of cleaning up the shooting stars that have fallen from the surface of the Moon. La Luna is breathtaking, complemented by an emotional score and a climax that rises in an emotional and visual crescendo. To watch!
5. Sanjay’s super team: A morning ritual of prayer and cartoon viewing is beautifully animated to capture the understanding and growth of a bond between a deeply religious father and his son. When the son discovers the similarities between his superheroes on TV and the gods his father prays, he realizes that they are not that different after all. As the Hindu deities come to life and engage in what can best be described as Mortal Kombat-style combat with Sanjay’s superheroes, you find yourself gripped by this wonderfully twisted plot, accompanied by stunning graphics and zero dialogue. .
6. Partly cloudy: Pixar’s ability to make its viewers understand anthropomorphic things is always going to make anyone’s heart swell. True to the myth of giving birth to storks, Partly Cloudy introduces us to a tired crane and his stormy cloud friend, who continues to create thorny, spooky, and at times terrifying babies that the stork will bring back to Earth. But, the dynamic and friendship between these two imprints of black humor and acceptance is heartwarming and disarming, and it makes you realize that even the prickest creatures deserve a hug and love.
7. Presto: Presto, the magician is in a duel with his rabbit, who just wants to eat his carrot, but it’s show time and the carrot must wait. Sadly, the bunny doesn’t care, and hi-jinks ensue as Presto and his bunny engage in what can only be described as slapstick physical comedy skits. I have never laughed so much.
