The story is adapted from and Aesop's fable, featuring two cosmic rivals - the sun and the wind - who challenge each other in seeing who will be most successful in getting a man to take off his coat.
It's really appropriate to see whose power is most effective in this challenge - the wind with its gale like force only motivates the man to wrap his coat around him even tighter whereas the sun provides a welcoming warmth that allows the man to shed his coast and sit down in the sun-filled day. The animation is simple and effective. The narrator's voice is firm and delivers the story in a welcoming way. The background must is subtle and enhances the mood by its gentle presence.
The film's message is about the effects of power with the welcoming warmth of the sun being more effective than the gale force of the wind.
I give The Sun and The Wind 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
