Pearl (2016)
**** (out of 4)
Extremely touching animated short about a father and his young daughter who travel around in their hatchback making memories. This six-minute short shows off various portions of their lives inside this car.
PEARL was one of five films that were nominated for Best Animated Short and it's an extremely impressive one to say the least. The film is basically told through visuals and a song that gets played throughout all of it. I must say that the animation itself was quite great but that's to be expected from just about any animated piece these days. Where this film really took off was on the sheer pleasure of watching the dad and daughter grow older, go through various things and all of it set around this car. I found the film to be incredibly entertaining throughout its six-minute running time and it was also very touching and thoughtful.
