I saw the set for this film in Bradford Media Museum, and thought it and it's story line seemed quite enchanting. As far as I know it can be viewed on Youtube at this moment in time, but shorts like this often go into obscurity when they aren't popular enough to be remembered by masses of people.
The tag-line for this film is not of much use, as to call it 'a magical journey about relationships and what it is to be human' is, for me, a slight exaggeration, but I suppose the idea is that the hyperbolic nature will draw viewers towards the animation. In some ways, it is magical. The film itself is a fantasy, and shows a focus on space and planets in order to link it to astronomy, but it is not particular extraordinary. Sweet is a much better term, as the short is only 5 minutes long (I am aware that's the point of the word 'short', however, not much of a journey is made in this small amount of time), so the story line is not completely clear or put together. Despite this, I found it quite simple to gather the plot and what was happening by the end of the animation, if only leaving one or two questions unanswered, but that isn't necessarily a fault.
Although the time period was short, the film was still emotive and delved deep enough to make the watcher feel empathy for the characters. If I were to make a tag-line for this film, it would be: 'A charming animation that explores feelings of loss, love and sacrifice'.
I would advise you to watch this film, it is something that of course, is worth living without, but if you live having seen it, makes life that little bit more pleasant.
