Paulette no Isu

I will start of by stating that I thought this was very different and better than what I expecting this to be. While I do have experience with the director's other works, this has a level of charm I feel to be absent in most of the other stuff directed by this man. STORY This is a modern take on Shel Silverstein's classic, The Giving Tree. The director takes the base of the story and takes a different approach than the original, but maintaining the charm that brought us all to love the original tale. Instead of a tree we have a chair that can move onits own. The story is very Disney-esque and I love the nostalgia it gives. ART Easily the strongest aspect of this three minute short besides the piano piece that play throughout the whole short. It gives off a very Disney look and is visually striking. SOUND Dope piano and strings. I felt the Disney so much. I don't see the Ghibli at all. ENJOYMENT The only parts I wasn't enjoying was the stupid noitaminA intro and the fact that it ended so soon. I loved how magical and nostalgic everything felt. Unlike most of the other things I have reviewed for this site I had a genuinely good time with this three minute short and I would recommend this to anyone. To end with, I would recommend Walt Disney's Fantasia since it has the same exact style of storytelling and Rain Town as it is directed by the same man.
