Default I made a short film

It has finally been released into the wild. Would love to hear what you think...

I like it very much Ninja Dodo! The simplicity appeals. All the nuances of the girls face in a few lines. You're very talented!

Me too! I liked the minimalistic sounds, and the simplicity yet intricacy of the drawings. You are indeed very talented.

Well, the animation is good. But as far as I can tell, it's not really saying anything about war.

Well, it's open to interpretation, but I tried not to hit people over the head with a particular view, political or otherwise.

Right. I very much wanted to avoid a "here are the 'bad guys' and this is what you should think of them", or "war is bad, mmkay..." kind of thing.

If anything, the film is about kids being smarter than adults.

That was great Ninja Dodo; my favorite was the expressions on the faces of the little girl and the solider once he received the bear...... I loved it.

I actually think that that is a bit too emphasized in art sometimes. I think that very good art doesn't actually emphasize (to use the word again) its views to people. To be honest it doesn't even have to have a point, other than to have the... reciever think about their own views, to bring out different view points, different possibilities.

Maybe to move them in some way.
