Just what I expected

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

only special. just special. impressive for idea, touching for story, great for final. and difficult for define. because all is well known and the film could be another manifesto for a noble cause. but it becomes, scene by scene, little more. the poetry, the voice , the references to situations from every day does it a good point of reflection. about small , poor people and realities. about love. about different and subtle form of revenge. nothing complicated. or new. an idea. work. puppets. and one of stories becoming great on the screen against the insignificant fact to be close near you in real life. so, few numbers. and Zero.

I saw this with my 10-year old son In spite of the stop motion animation with wool balls (!!!) which could have lent itself to lack of emotional expression, he was so taken and upset by the story that half way through he started to weep like a fountain and refused to proceed viewing But he was intrigued and impressed, he really WANTED to know that it ends well for zero So a few days later we went back to Amazon And watched the ending He was so happy that immediately called his older brothers asking them to watch - all rooted for Zero and found the story moving and beautifully told Well done!!! In the end what matters is a beautiful story well told, and the simplicity of the wool balls (DNA strands?) rather adds to the story

Zealous Creative is a LA based production company that makes ads, corporate videos and short films. The creative talent like the director of Zero hail from Australia.Zero is a stop motion animation with yarn puppets with a message of rigid social structures particularly that of caste and the Untouchables.The zero of our story is an untouchable. A nothing who will never rise from the bottom. He will always amount to zilch.At school his life is tormented because he has a zero stamped on his chest. Others have numbers from 1 to 10. A number 1 may just be a lowly cleaner but even that amounts to some kind of ranking denoting a status.Zero struggles through life and into adulthood but is determined to survive the system knowing that he will never beat the system. He meets a female Zero and suddenly feels his life has meaning.Even though their love is forbidden in such a society they persevere to make it through together.The film has nice simple but smooth animation with clear cut narration. I would like to have known more of this society like where do Zeros come from? I guess there is only so much you can show in a 10 minute short but it is a thoughtful film on social status discrimination.

A short with an easy but still very much needed message created in a very nice stop-motion style.The story should not be new to anyone over the age of twelve, but is brought with such an elegance it is worth watching anyways. The animators did a splendid job of creating a variety of characters within the limits they gave themselves. This makes for an enjoyable watch even for grown-ups.The narrator's voice is pleasant and clear, the scenery simple and yet complete, and the music simple yet supporting.I hope the creators will use their techniques to also make some more off-the-beaten-track stories.
