Featured reviews
A boy. and the gift of his mother. a refuge. and the seeds of the friendship. result - a moving animation. impressive for good animation and for simple story. and for the nice manner to give force, using few inspired details, to a story about a special form of change
A boy wiles away his time engaged in video games. He is serious and unfriendly. Then his mother brings him a present. It's hard to figure out why he is so angry and resentful. The present is a puppy who is missing a foot. What transpires will bring tears to your eyes. I guarantee it.
This is a wonderful movie that becomes deeply touching for reasons I can't explain without giving away the ending. If you get a chance to see it, treat yourself. You'll be happy that you did.
This is just filler to get to five lines. Once upon a midnight dreary, While I wondered weak and weary Over a many quaint and curious Volume of forgotten lore.

I thought it was just your everyday pleasant short until the end. I burst into tears and it affected me a lot. Really impressive to achieve an emotional shift like that.
Do you like heart-warming films? If so, be sure to watch The Present! I certainly thought this movie was awesome.
The film was about a mum who gave a gift to her son. The boy opened the box and it was a puppy. At first, the boy thought the puppy was cute, but it was a missing leg.
The animation was dark in the beginning. But when mum comes, she opened the door and the curtain, it was bright. The music was mysterious and happy. My favourite part was that the dog had three legs.
I really liked this film because at the end it was fun and exciting, but I am not going to spoil it for you. You will like it! I rate this film 5 out of 5.
