This was a story told with no words. As a communication studies major this short film was very interesting. People in my classes, including myself, LOVE to talk, so taking a moment to shutup, observe, and listen (all aspects of a good communicator) was refreshing. The filmmaker uses color, animated body language, and sound to create the story. Every aspect of film is telling the viewer something whether we realize it or not, just as every person on the planet is telling people something whether they are aware of it.

I love animated films that create a since of suspense and fear. It goes against the norm of what we grow up with as kids. I think that this coud go back to me falling in love with "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland". I will say that I'm not crazy about the animation in this particular film. I don't know what it is about it that makes it feel like an old cartoon, that was redone and updated to look cool.

I think my favorite part about watching this film, was actually watching it a second time. Same was true for "The Sixth Sense". When you watch it a second time, you see things from a completely different perspective than the first time. Personally, A film that makes you want to go right back and watch it again is a pretty darn good film.
