Nice Way to Introduce Kids to the Event

The Man Who Walked Between the Towers (2005)

*** (out of 4)

The title here is the same title to the children's book, which discusses Philippe Petit's historic and now legendary walk between the two Twin Towers.

This animated film lasts under ten minutes and it basically has someone reading the book to you while we get animated shots from the book. I must admit that this isn't the greatest thing ever made but I do think it would be the perfect way to introduce a kid to the events of that day. Both MAN ON WIRE and THE WALK wouldn't entertain young kids so this animated short would be perfect for them. The animation itself is rather raw but I liked that about it. It seems there are a couple versions of this out there with different narrators. Jake Gyllenhaal narrated one version but the one I've got has someone else.
