A boy wiles away his time engaged in video games. He is serious and unfriendly. Then his mother brings him a present. It's hard to figure out why he is so angry and resentful. The present is a puppy who is missing a foot. What transpires will bring tears to your eyes. I guarantee it.

It's another case of youths today being portrayed as video gamers who just want to play 'Call of Duty'. Y'know, the whole "Guys, add my Gamertag so we can play online! Boom headshot! 360 no scope, quick scope. Omg what a n00b!". So in this lovingly crafted animation, the mother purchases him a dog as a present. But here's the catch, it is disabled and only has three legs. Cue melodrama and sympathy. Yes, the mischievous puppy is adorable. Yes, the canine makes you "awww". And yes, I want one. Right now! However, the son dismisses the dog because of its disability and instead of kindly going outside to play with it, he kicks the poor thing and chooses to continue shooting Nazi zombies. Immediately making him ridiculously unlikeable. It soon transpires that the son has his own disability and seemingly becomes infected by the dog's own optimistic perspective on life. The problem is that the kid is already unlikeable. You don't sympathise with him due to the way he treated the dog, which metaphorically relates to how other individuals treat him. Therefore I would've expected him to warm to the dog instantly, as they both have relatable qualities. It's too busy focusing on the "stop playing games and go outside" moral as opposed to what is directly in front of him. Good intentions, beautiful animation and decent morals are detracted by a character who is forcibly unlikeable for the sake of it.

I thought it was just your everyday pleasant short until the end. I burst into tears and it affected me a lot. Really impressive to achieve an emotional shift like that.

This is a wonderful movie that becomes deeply touching for reasons I can't explain without giving away the ending. If you get a chance to see it, treat yourself. You'll be happy that you did.

This is just filler to get to five lines. Once upon a midnight dreary, While I wondered weak and weary Over a many quaint and curious Volume of forgotten lore.

A boy. and the gift of his mother. a refuge. and the seeds of the friendship. result - a moving animation. impressive for good animation and for simple story. and for the nice manner to give force, using few inspired details, to a story about a special form of change

Do you like heart-warming films? If so, be sure to watch The Present! I certainly thought this movie was awesome.

The film was about a mum who gave a gift to her son. The boy opened the box and it was a puppy. At first, the boy thought the puppy was cute, but it was a missing leg.

The animation was dark in the beginning. But when mum comes, she opened the door and the curtain, it was bright. The music was mysterious and happy. My favourite part was that the dog had three legs.

I really liked this film because at the end it was fun and exciting, but I am not going to spoil it for you. You will like it! I rate this film 5 out of 5.
