Featured reviews
I don't know short films like these other guys do, but what I know is that after this short ended, I told my brother it was worth the price of admission just to see the cartoon. I say that, and I walked in the theatre after the short was well underway.
The music is great, it's simply great, and it makes the film. I find it fascinating that the music does so much, yet the animation is so entrancing that the music is felt rather than heard. It's rare to see something on par with excellent music.
I write this only because I'm desperately searching for an online copy, I must see it again.

La Luna is a good short film with a great story and humor.I like how lots of movie studios are making an effort with bringing back shorts lately,but they all probably got the idea of Pixar.After Pixar started doing it,we've seen new Looney Tunes shorts,Toy Story Toons,The Simpsons short that aired before Ice Age 4: Continental Drift,among many other great short movies using old characters that have already appeared in movies,and new characters too.It was nice to see some original stuff from Pixar,seeing that there hasn't been an original Pixar short since Day And Night,and also Brave,with there hasn't been an original Pixar movie since Up.
A boy,his father and his grandfather sail out to see,and late at night,get an opportunity to go up to the moon.They decide to clean the place up.

This is one of the most favorite short films in my life. It starts from the scene on the boat - the boat with a boy, father, and grandfather goes on a silent, calm night ocean. The sounds of Spanish guitar is romantic, and I was attracted from the first moment. The little boy is always middle of his father and grandfather, and tries to behave like adults - so I can easily suppose it is a story of boy's growth. But the way to express it is really breathtaking! When the full moon rises, adults slowly prepare to climb to the moon! With the help of the anchor and ladder, the boy arrives at the moon, where lots of little star covers the surface. Again, I have never seen such an expression for the moon, and it tells us the image of warm, bright, and even cozy place for the moon, it is so surprising. While caught in a dilemma between the way of father and grandfather, they find a huge shooting star is coming. In an attempt to put it off, the boy finally finds his way to achieve the task. We do not have the answer to the question "What are they doing?" till the end, but once you look up the sky, the answer will be there.
This film tells the story of a young boy, who is taken to work by his father and his grandfather for the first time. His task is to go on the moon and sweep the stars.
Despite the film being just six minutes and thirty seconds long, it already tells a very sweet and adorable story. The story is imaginative, as I have never even imagined that stars have such as effect on the moon. The stars are beautiful, the characters are cute and the story is very sweet. In the space of just a few minutes, it has captured my imagination and my heart. It is a great animation.

It takes all of six minute to see the point of this, but that doesn't matter. Every step of the way we are introduced to little wonders. Why are these people out in this little boat? What's with the ladder? Why is the little boy included? All this is eventually explained. The visuals are crisp and sound. The music is so calming. When we think of moonlight, we think of centuries of people who have felt its spell. Don't miss this one. It can't help but raise your spirits.
