The story is about a girl named Olivia and a reclusive guy, Joseph. During a break at school, Olivia discovers Joseph sitting outside away from everyone else, playing games on a device. Olivia breaks through multiple adventures inside a game in order to approach Joseph and capture his interest in being friends with her. (or so I think)
The animation of this short film is extraordinary and varies from 2D animated characters living in a more or less "real" world, to jumping inside of a video game to fight various obstacles that only exist in cyberspace. There is no dialogue, only a few grunts and groans, but the images tell the story very well. My favorite scene is at the end when Joseph throws a ball at the "lion" which is shown in real time as a kitty cat.
The film's message is about walking through obstacles in order to communicate with someone who is hiding from the world.
I give Just Imagine 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Andy G., KIDS FIRST!
