The storyline follows Shemp, as an intergalactic hero who comes to rescue the planet of Cardboard and ends up finding his soulmate.
Beautifully illustrated by German animator Christian Scharfenberg with extraordinary music by Morgan Finlay, this sweet film tells a story in under four minutes that kids and adults can both resonate with. The song, "Looking for You" perfectly describes the entire plot of the film as it unfolds. I love the hard-working little people of Cardboardia and the extraordinary environment they build for themselves. The details of the cardboard-looking structures are terrific - down to the most minute features. When they spot a flaming asteroid headed for their planet, chaos erupts until, the hero Shemp appears on his spaceship. We observe Shemp's thought process as images on the front of his helmet as he paces back and forth. His aha moment results in blueprint type images across the screen until we see the finished contraption, designed to redirect the asteroid. Its trajectory is redirected through a series of chutes designed to minimize its impact and ends with a big surprise that leaves everyone happy.
The film's message is about helping others and the joy of companionship.
I give "Looking for You" 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
