Review/ Commentary

Highlights

The Animation

It’s the little details that matter. Be it the imperfections when it came to both boys’ hair, especially the one with curly hair, the way things moved, or even the implementation of eyelashes. You can see a lot of details that weren’t necessary but definitely appreciated.

A Cute And Simple Story

3 minutes, naturally, isn’t going to go into a lot. However, you get enough to swoon over the idea of a kid hunting for a flower to make someone they think is cute happy. It’s simple, not too over the top, and adorable.

Overall

Rating: Positive (Worth Seeing)

Carino reminds you of the importance of order when making a playlist, and as part of Newfest 2021’s “Queer Kid Power” Shorts Program, this was a perfect way to start things.
