    It's really boring
    This short animation tells the story of a happy blue umbrella in the crowd of unhappy umbrellas. He meets a red umbrella by chance, and they fall in love.

    I cannot quite believe that a film that is only seven minutes can still be far too long. It can easily be cut into just two minutes. I was honestly thoroughly bored by the lack of things happening most of the time. The only time when things get a little exciting is when the umbrella gets blown over. Other times it is just plain boring. The story is not convincing or likely either. The only good point is that no human faces are shown, even though the film is actually related to the owners of the umbrellas.
