WAY TO A MAN'S HEART, THE

The animated puppet film, The Way To A Man's Heart, is surprisingly tender and sweet. I thought it would be silly, but it is a heartfelt story about relationships and the choices we make when we interact with others. Though I don't like the ending, I think the film is well-written and animated.

The story is about a dog trying who falls in love with a single gentleman and, as a sign of his love, leaves a turd on his door step every morning. This is from Germany and is entirely non-narrative.

I like the story, though the part about the turd is pretty ridiculous. Also, the man's turnaround feels sudden and inexplicable. I don't think most people would forgive a dog for constantly pooping on their front step for months at end. The cinematography is very good. I particularly like the dog's facial expressions and reactions. The backgrounds work very well. They are simple and clear. I especially like the dog's home, since it is so prettily drawn. The background music, although not used throughout, works very well. It gives the impression of capering, and at times, warmth. Some music I especially like is a drumbeat used when the man is following the dog. The characters are excellent. Their motives, especially the dog's, are clear and believable, though the man's motive at the end is confusing. If a dog pooped on my step every day for years, I would be furious, not forgiving. I have to commend the animator's work. The characters both feel lifelike and realistic, especially the dog. From its expressions and movements, it genuinely seems like a real dog was used to make this film.

The message of this film is about the power of love and the importance of forgiveness.

I give this film 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to 12, plus adults. Dog lovers will enjoy this, as long as they're not put off by the excessive use of poop.

The animated puppet film �lucky dump" tells the story of a dog who falls in love with a single gentleman. As a sign of his love, he leaves a dog turd in front of the man's door every morning. The story unfolds about misunderstandings and the failure of gestures where there is no match. The film's cute aesthetics stands in strong contrast to the drama of the conflict in which both protagonists become entangled.
