A Dark Forest Tale



At first the movie sounds so "creepy" but as the film started it turns to be "corny". Its just so ironic that in a dark forest its a boy small naughty boy who brings terror!The background music does not suit to the film and it sounds so annoying!

An Ugly Boy



A story about an ugly doll that is an outcast because ugliness that even a drunkard would curse him. He walked away from his neighborhood and stayed to a placed where he is alone. But an ugly girl came and for the first time he is not alone. An ugly boy and an ugly girl, together they look beautiful.=)
The films looks like a stop motion animation for it uses dolls as its character. The background music also adds detail to the film making the main character looks more "kawawa' and a "loser". Sometimes the camera movement is not appropriate for the scene that is taken.Sometimes "masakit sa mata".=)

Sonata



The film is "bitin" and boring.Although the sound is cool for it plays a piano and the graphics is great but outside of that its boring and the story is not that interesting for an animated film. The guy was so "torpe" that he can't even go near to girl and he only looks at her by the window. Well they said that if you really love someone you will really have hard time to express your love. But the question is how would that person know that you love him'her?!Take your chances, after all you will lose nothing if you try...!=)

Solo



The short story is about a photographer who is alone in life who take pictures of places,animals and even people. After he take pictures he will develop it in his dark room and put it together in his house to create a scenery.Then he take a picture of a woman and develop it into a life size picture. He pretended that he had a date when that woman but only realized that still he is alone. He cried in his table then suddenly the cardboard woman he made moved and have life. They enjoyed the time together the cardboard woman had life and the photographer was turned into a cardboard!
The film shows that man really seeks and pursue his own happiness and and would try everything just ton reach that happiness he aims.Sometimes we fail,but the effort we did will remind us that we are the one who makes our own path in life and this path is determined by the choices we chose, whether it could be happiness or something else

Tir Nan Og



Honestly i realy don't get the story of the film.But I still posted it because I think its cool.The setting of the film is not that usual funny looking cartoons that makes everybody laugh.At first, there was a woman and a young girl playing a piano beisde a cliff near the sea.The, suddenly a group of raven came and after they left a man in weird custome showed up,the woman hug the man and bid goodbye to the little girl.The gurl was confused anf followed them by a small boat by the near island.As she saw the man and the woman that was with her earlier at the tip of the cliff she started to wrestle the man, but when the man removed his hat the girl recognized him and hug him. The man and the woman held hands together nad the group of ravens showed up again and when the ravens were gone the man and the woman vanished with them.The girl was left alone.
The setting of the film is fantastic, the lighting effects suits the mood of the film giving it a gloomy and confusing output.The soundtrack also gives more story to the film.A confusing yet an amazing film!=)

Geri's Game



A short animated film made by pixar animation studios in 1997.The film is about an old man who is obsessed in the game of chess but can't find himself a playmate. He plays alone a a park with himself as his opponent.
For me it is a sad story and a sad reality. That sometimes in life we could be alone and can't find any reason to be happy but ourselves.Sometimes nobody will play your favorite game with you because your wierd,different or an outcast...=(

Race between an ostrich and a penguin



A race between an ostrich and a penguin.If we will base
d it in reality a penguin have no match to an ostrich in a race for the ostrich is considered as one of the fastest running animal on earth. But on this animation, the ostrich hid its head under the ground as he hears the gun that signals the start of the race. The, unexpectedly the penguin won the race!
Animation surely can do many things,even let the losers win some time...=a)

Olympics 2008



The animated film is a campaign and at the same time a promotion for the 2008 Beijing olympics.It may not be obvious from the film but it shows some of the sports that is played during olympics like taekwondo,hardle, swimming,diving,gymnastics and marathon...
The animated is great for it really portraits a Chinese atmosphere. From the song to the characters in the film.It really promotes olympics 2008 in Beijing,China

Kiwi!



This is a short animated film which portrays a hard working kiwi who wanted to fly. As we all know kiwis cannot fly. The kiwi bird in the film wanted to fly and to fulfill his dream of flying, he nailed trees on a side of a cliff then jump afterwards. The kiwi seems like really flying but at the end he died as he arrive at the foot of the cliff.
The film shows determination to fulfill ones dream. and that determination would lead you to a path that would make your dream come true even many will say its impossible...
I commend the author and the animator of the film!nice
