    Adorable and incredibly symbolic

    Within 4 minutes, I felt a whim of emotions that most hour long movies can't open my mind and heart to. The animation is eye candy and the symbolism is very poetic.

    Another truly wonderful thing this film accomplished is that given the political topic of LGBT support, this film innocently opens not only our minds, but also our hearts to those who do face unnecessary judgment for something as innocent as a grade school crush. And to establish such a strong defense with 0 dialog is beyond incredible.

    I recommend everyone to not only watch this but to spread it to as many friends as you can. Share the beauty and love that this film offers

    nice

    ...or moving, or touching, or adorable. it is one of films remembering basic experiences and our reactions. two boys. and a heart. sweet humor and delicate way for translate a feeling so familiar and the answers so well known. provocative for theme, seductive for its subject, it is a joy to discover this adorable animation gem. for the right support. for memories and regrets and answers. so, a film about yourself. and not an ordinary one.

    Tissues required

    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 Emotionally Animated Short Film

    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.

    In A Heartbeast: Undoubtedly quaint

    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.
