SHAPES OF US

What a lovely little animated film, so filled with meaning in such a short time. I completely relate to it on many levels.

The storyline follows two strangers who become friends as they embark on an adventure visiting sculptures around the world. As their travels expand, they grow closer until they don't and we are faced with what happens when what brought us together with another person no longer sustains our relationship with them.

The 2D animation is simple and effective, with colorful backgrounds and clearly defined characters. The story has minimal dialogue, but it's very effective. Plus, the background music helps create various moods throughout the film. I felt happy as the two people came together to explore a mutual interest in art and sad when one suddenly lost interest. However, the other sustains its interest on its own, and finds satisfaction in its own pursuit -- even imagining that its friend morphed from one of the sculptures. It's a great analogy for how friendships come together but don't always last forever as people change and move on.

The film's message is about adapting to change and staying centered in oneself.

I give Shapes of Us 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
