From one of Canada's premiere commercial directors comes this fantastic little short. It begins by referencing Julie Taymor's "Titus" with a little boy playing with action figures but where Taymor used the image to make a comment about violence, Franchi extends it into a story about the imagination of a child.
It's a marvelous examination of the power of imagination in the vein of "Alice in Wonderland." With barely two lines of dialogue, the film relies heavily on music and well- crafted images to tell its story. It struck a very personal chord with me; reminding me of a childhood spent listening to classical music and dreaming of worlds inhabited by knights, witches and talking animals.
If you can get your hands on this, it's well-worth watching.
