Best movie of this year hands down!

Such a frustrating disappointment

Good concept, poorly executed.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This movie is interesting movie. the characters are cleaners of the moon. For the main character, the boy, he has not ever been to the moon. So, he is taught to operate to change phases of the moon. His father and grandfather has each different way, so each tries to teach the boy, they quarrel. 2times. First, they quarrel how to suffer of the hat which the father gives the boy. Second, they quarrel how to sweep stars. General also, by generations difference people quarrel the way to carry out. But, the boy discovered how to break the big star so they come not to quarrel. I think general quarrel is little things. In this story, the boy play a role to inform that things.

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.

'LA LUNA': Three Stars (Out of Five)Another Pixar animated short film, this one debuted in theaters before 'BRAVE' and was nominated for a 'Best Animated Short Film' Oscar at last year's Academy Awards. It tells the story of a boy, named Bambino, who goes to work with his father and grandfather for the first time one night. The three sail far out to sea and board the moon in order to clean up fallen stars on it. The boy's father and grandfather disagree on how to train Bambino and he must decide which one's instructions to follow or to do the job his own way. It was written and directed by first time filmmaker Enrico Casarosa and is spoken all in gibberish. The movie is pretty odd but without a doubt creative and original. I liked it's uniqueness but didn't find that much to really enjoy in the story. The characters aren't really developed enough to relate to or find inspiration from but it is only a 7 minute cartoon. It does have that classic old school cartoon feel to it and is quirky and somewhat oddly amusing. Not a great little short film but a decent one.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDQQKEqGhZQ

"La Luna" is an incredible experience. From the first seconds, the film portrays absolute peace, and the music is the star. I would have been content if there was no plot; just the setting, the music, and the brilliantly animated characters were enough to take me far away from the movie theater and transport me into another world. There's none of the goofiness that's present in many of Pixar's other shorts. Instead, the film is honest; enthralling. The plot is timed out absolutely perfectly, so the audience is begging to know what will come next without wishing the story would move any faster. More often than not, I find that short films (especially the funny ones) struggle with timing, and stretch out one simple idea a little bit too long. "La Luna" masterfully avoids this problem by presenting a well-developed, mysterious story (in fact, a main idea is hidden from the audience until the last few seconds) that is more fulfilling than any full-length feature I have seen in months.
