Hearts and Flowers (1919)

An animated short film that never gets old, especially with iconic characters from the Disney series.

Sisters Mia and Emma discover and hunt down a unicorn with magical blood and want to protect it.

The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.

‘Exhibiting Forgiveness’ seeks to ask one question, “What do you do when your parents are the source of your pain?”

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes on the heels of its billion-dollar grossing predecessor, and seeks to do absolutely nothing other than repeat its success. In this, the film is eminently effective. If you have seen the previous film, you can expect something extremely similar in this package.  That is, a barrage of references to Nintendo intellectual property wrapped in a plot that provides the thinnest layer of emotional payoff for the characters.

The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
