The Man Who Planted Trees

The film was like this:




And I was like this:



The Man Who Planted Trees was pretty! My eyes were so happy! The colored pencils made the film look warm and fuzzy and soft. I believe this really helped the emotion and the flow-y feel of the story. The colors blended together beautifully, and the style also perfectly conveyed the natural beauty of nature and the calmness of nature. Spraying the celluloid and then coloring over it is a rare method, and it looks really painful and tedious. That makes me appreciate the style even more.


The story of The Man Who Planted Trees is nice because there aren't any bad things happening. Throughout the film, we all were constantly guessing how the forest would be destroyed. I personally thought the war would destroy it or that the people at the end would try to tear it down, but they never did. Everything went smoothly, and it was a pleasant relief from the constant pessimism of most of the other films we have seen. The optimism of the story makes us feel good!

It even puts a smile on Simon Cowell's face :)
