Deserves to be turned into a feature-lenght film

[Rectangular_businessman · 8/10 · 19 September 2022]

Despite the somewhat dated CGI, the plot was very captivating, telling a very relatable story disregard of the science-fiction elements.

While the ending scene with the "naked" aliens back in their homeplanet was a little bit weird (I guess it probably was intended to be something symbolic?), and the scenes when it's implied the teddybear might be sentient felt a bit forced (since the story is already emotional enough without the need of adding any element of anthropomorphization) my overall impression is still very positive.

I sincerely believe this short has enough potential to be adapted into a feature-lenght film. But in order to work, it would have to capture the way in which it perfectly blends many different moods: It's not a mere apocalyptic tale with some ecological undertones, but also a tale of innocence and hope.

It's very hard for modern Hollywood to produce a film like that.

admirable work

first, it is one of most touching eulogy to old, classic and so familiar teddy bear. second, it is a remember about small, significant truths and values. then, it is the precise portrait of childhood, happiness and the meanings of life. not the last, it is a splendid animation, for many reasons but, the important one is , maybe, the simplicity. it is not a surprising detail for a short animation but, in this case, it is real helpful. for the force to present an universal reality, beyond us, defining us. because a polluted world is not exactly subject for a dark utopia but a precious warning about to have who risks be more important than to be.

Sweet, Touching Film

As the film begins, some aliens are investigating an old house. In it they find a battered Teddy bear. We are then brought back in time to when a young family first put the bear with their newborn. Time passes and the little bear fulfills a need for companionship. Unfortunately, the people are not good stewards of the earth and pollution forces them underground. But what happens is a universal connection between the past and the future. Lovely effort.
