In a Heartbeat

This is such a simple yet wonderful piece of art.

Without words and in adorable style it speaks of love and fear and pain and confusion and hiding and being exposed. It is so easy to empathize with the boy and his traitorous heart. We have all been there at one time or the other. Exposed. Vulnerable. Wishing to turn back time. To unsay words already said.

The story itself is simple and straightforward and it grips your heart and won't let it go as you smile through the tears streaming down your face. Because this little piece of color and music and movement is pure emotion.

An unique connection is established between two souls who decide to spend their human lives together. Such a feeling of love, knowing that someone cares and looks for you, is hard to equal. So, there is this search in life when we try to find our "soulmate", an experience worth remembering and cherishing. Everyone can love.

You have to watch it for yourself. This little, cute film shows that being gay, straight, and anything in between isn't just about sexual attraction. It's about romantic, love-attraction. I grew up in a small town where I often heard that "gay people only care about sex." This piece of art illustrates beautifully, humorously, and seriously that that just isn't true.

Allegorically, like Sherman in this film, my heart was torn from my chest. It floated about as a spirit in search of how the plot would develop. At the film's conclusion, the heart returned to my body along with a warm euphoric feeling. My review of the animated film is simple... So beautiful, that in under four minutes it was able to create such a heartwarming feeling to a worldwide audience. Gay, straight, young and old alike. This is indeed an incredible accomplishment.

Sweet animated short about a young man and his heart pursuing the boy they have a crush on. Pixar quality animation but make no mistake it's not and I don't believe Disney are "there" yet.

As you can imagine right wingers and the religious would crap bricks if this short ever reached the masses and gained the acclaim it arguably deserves.

Very short and a bit cheesy this is a good effort and honestly if they made a feature length movie about this I'd happily watch it.

It's not political, it's not forced and there is no gay "agenda" this people is about one single thing..............love.
