Highly Overrated But Still Good

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

"La création des oiseaux" or "The Creation of Birds" is a 10-minute animated short film from almost 45 years ago written and directed by French-Canadian filmmaker Frédéric Back. He did not have any of his 2 Oscars when he made this one here. There is no dialogue in here, so you won't need subtitles, even if you don't speak French. I must say I am not the biggest fan of Back's style, but that is just personal preference. Sadly, the story/plot which sounds so interesting in the film's title is very forgettable in here. Early on, it looked a bit like Mowgli from the Jungle Book. So yeah, I did not have a particularly good time watching this one and I can see why it did not get any awards attention whatsoever. A forgettable 10 minutes. Not recommended.
