An Exercise In Nonsense
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Here we have "Pixie Hollow Bake Off", a 5.5-minute animated short film from 2013, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year. The director and writer are both fairly experienced already and have worked on projects in the past that were aimed at a rather (young and) female audience. And this one here makes no exception. but let me say as a male in his 30s that I enjoyed it nonetheless. It is a David-Goliath story, but luckily without an unrealistic feel-good ending, but instead some funny and charming plot twist that you perhaps did not expect although you shoudl have. And the epilogue comment by Gelata isn't too shabby either. Yeah well I cannot deny that I enjoyed this little film. The animation is really good to be honest, maybe the film's bestg aspect and the entertainment value is on par too, especially in the second half I would say where the film gets a bit better after a slow start. Decent overall, I do not know much about Tinker Bell to be honest, but this one makes me want to change it. Also nice to see established actress like Adlong, Huston and Liu attached to the project. Praise where praise is due. A bit of a pity it is so hard to find. Watch it if you can.
