is it bad that I didn't shed a single tear? I feel like a robot. Guess I wasn't in the mood for something like this but I went in completely blind.
this feels like something that would go viral on facebook in like 2012 also who the fuck chose a king princess song for this and why
1950 does not fit into this at all... it really ruined the vibe for me. That’s... not what that song is about. I thought Spotify had started playing the song independently, that’s how much it stuck out and felt out of place.
Of course, it’s hard hitting and emotionally overwhelming, but that’s mostly just the subject matter and not really the way it’s been told. The animation style lends itself to the subject matter, in that it looks as though it was drawn on a school notebook. I’m sad but this wasn’t that great.

Today: If Anything Happens I Love You
Hi everybody, this film may be short, but within just devastating 12 minutes of an emotional, heartbreaking story I pretty much felt empty and broken. If you have ever lost someone close in your life, if you have ever loved someone from the bottom of your heart you will feel the gut-wrenching pain as if this story of grief affects you personally. Despite the fact of being (gorgeously) animated it surpasses the fictional world and becomes more real and realistic than any other films with only slightly similar topics.

SYNOPSIS: If Anything Happens, I Love You is a beautifully illustrated animated short film that takes us on an extraordinary emotional journey of two parents struggling to overcome the hurt left by a tragic event that leaves their family changed forever.
It has been a long time since I felt so fulfilled after watching something so grim and devastating. Having witnessed the inevitable and everlasting pain that is associated with losing one’s child (from someone close to me), I can definitely say with certainty that there is no timeline associated with grief or coping. Every day is…
I've had enough of Letterboxd, TMDB, IMDb, and Rotten Tomatoes.
ANIMATION IS NOT A GENRE.
I'm tired of seeing films labeled with the "genre", "Animation".
It's not a genre.
In the words of the great Brad Bird;
"People think of animation only doing things where people are dancing around and doing a lot of histrionics, but animation is not a genre. And people keep saying "the animation genre", it's not a genre. A western is a genre, animation is an art form and it can do any genre. Y'know? It can do a detective film, a cowboy film, a horror film, an R-rated film, or a kid's fairytale, but it doesn't do one thing. And next time I hear "ooh…
