Review of La Luna

La Luna (2011)
8/10
Delightful Story Beautifully Told
12 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Fanciful tale of a boy, his father and grandfather.

The families task is to arrange the fallen stars on the moon's surface to display the phases of the moon that are seen in the sky.

The story sound outrageous and there is no dialogue just gibberish which is meant to sound like Italian, but despite this its a delightful story beautifully told. The Italian influence comes from both the writer/director Enrico Casarosa and the composer Michael Giacchino.

The animation has nice watercolor/pastel look to it and the stars in particular have a simple but magical look, like a candle inside frosted glass.

The visuals over the films end credits reflect the storyboards.
