ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Kirpianuscus the title. the characters. the fine humor. and the beautiful music. each as part of a lovely film about tradition, family and personal way. its basic virtue - to remind the fascination of child in front to small miracles/revelations. this is the secret who transforms La Luna in a seductive experience - to feel the fresh and delicate air of mixed fairy tale and fable . all is so simple in La Luna. the references to Mediteranean family, the secret who, in the right moment, is discovered by the young man, the solution who translate a new vision about relation with challenges - one of the most beautiful scenes of film- the perfect tempo of story, the first part and the impressive revelation. all in the veil of poetry of small things.

Armand an admirable work. for story and for its levels. for animation. and for the profound message. for humor and for the reflection of viewer. a lesson. a mission. a choice. all in clothes of charming fairy tale. one of rare films who is magic at whole. without explanations, without chance to define the source of magic. a grand father, his son , his nephew. in a boat. and an amazing discovery. result - a great animation . and a splendid show . remembering old legends, the deep fascination of generation, the links who defines the family, the secret who is essence of every day life, the need of miracles, "La luna" is the perfect choice for entire family. not only for joy or learn about the essence of things. but, maybe, for remember the insignificant details who are roots for each of us. see it !

Stompgal_87 I first saw this short on YouTube and at first glance it was beautiful to look at but the story was hard to understand to begin with. Three viewings later (thanks to my rental copy of Brave), I had a slightly better understanding of the story and it carried a positive hereditary message.As I have already mentioned in my summary, two of the best aspects are the appealing character designs, especially the adorable little boy, and the lovely musical score. The shading is a tad dark to begin with but it is quickly illuminated by the moon with fallen stars on it. While the characters spoke gibberish, their actions were easy to read and the two different brooms cleverly resembled the facial hair of the father and the grandfather. The funniest parts were those involving the father and the grandfather disagreeing over how the boy should wear his cap and the boy holding the brooms up against the father and the grandfather but after this, the humour wore thinly - I suppose this short isn't intended to be funny. The moon and the stars are beautifully illuminated and I was amazed when the little boy disintegrated the enormous star into several little ones.Overall this isn't Pixar's best short but it is slightly above par with the likes of Mike's New Car, Red's Dream, Partly Cloudy, Mater and the Ghostlight and Lifted. 7.5/10 to round up to IMDb's 8/10 rating.

TxMike We saw the movie "Brave" on DVD and this short film, "La Luna", is on the DVD as an extra. We had no idea it was there, or what it was, but I usually enjoy at least browsing the extras to see if I can find anything interesting. My wife usually leaves when I do that, but she stuck around for this one.The good thing about a film short, especially one as brief as this one, is you don't have any chance for character development, you basically see a small slice of something. Here the "slice" is a young boy taking his first boating adventure at night with his dad and grandpa.As the scene begins all we see is the three people in the small boat on the water at night. Then in dramatic fashion the giant moon rises. At that point I commented "look how great the colors are." Then the story really begins.The rest contains SPOILERS so you may not want to read further if you have not seen it, but it is a very pleasant short film. Totally fantasy, but enjoyable to watch.As the moon rises up into the sky the boat stops. The men pull a tall ladder from a hatch in the front of the boat, pointing it towards the moon. They give the boy a small anchor on the end of a rope, he fastens it around his waist, then climbs to the top, almost able to touch the moon. He throws the anchor, and climbs onto the moon, its surface littered with small, yellow glowing star-shaped objects that have accumulated there. Maybe it is supposed to be star dust. The three of them proceed to sweep up the little stars, when a larger one crashes into the surface. The boy climbs to one point, then hits it with a little hammer, and it all crumbles into the smaller ones. They finish their job and climb back down to the boat and we see the moon is no longer "full" but only a crescent where the bright little stars have been swept to.
