Substance

Brothers got soul and that is the gold root truth to be told. Seeing this work of art is living proof that kicking the truth to the young black youth without shoving or cramming it down your throat. It gives hope and an encouraging stroke to keep your head up. A jazzy note that you feel in your bones and dealing with reality and struggles at home, looking for a way out and pivoting with a move that shows and prove that it will be alright, it will be okay no matter what they say because love is love and love is here to stay so don't worry it's going to work out. Substance in a nutshell, blood is thicker than mud.

Brilliantly told story that cleverly combines Disney level appeal in its visuals with a subject matter that isn't commonly told through this medium. Using animation to shed light on such an honest and powerful story gives the viewers a much needed wake up call to sit up and pay attention. This short has something to say, and it says it with dazzling animation, a powerful and gorgeous soundtrack, and a bold story. Well done Jamaal and crew!!

A powerful message, a beautiful animation, inspired storytelling. A real manifesto about a bad way, about brotherhood and about the supreme keeper of the right measure in a crisis situation. Short - more than a good animation but one with many and profound solutions.
