"La Luna" is an incredible experience. From the first seconds, the film portrays absolute peace, and the music is the star. I would have been content if there was no plot; just the setting, the music, and the brilliantly animated characters were enough to take me far away from the movie theater and transport me into another world. There's none of the goofiness that's present in many of Pixar's other shorts. Instead, the film is honest; enthralling.
The plot is timed out absolutely perfectly, so the audience is begging to know what will come next without wishing the story would move any faster. More often than not, I find that short films (especially the funny ones) struggle with timing, and stretch out one simple idea a little bit too long. "La Luna" masterfully avoids this problem by presenting a well-developed, mysterious story (in fact, a main idea is hidden from the audience until the last few seconds) that is more fulfilling than any full-length feature I have seen in months.
