La Luna by Enrico Casarosa

La Luna is about a young boy who learns about his family business, turning the full moon into a crescent moon. His father and grandfather disagree on many things while teaching him ,like how to wear his hat and what tool to use for the job, but when they're overcome with an obstacle, a huge star that fell and won't budge, neither of their ways work. The young boy then comes up with a way to fix the problem without anyone's help.
I like this short not only because the animation style is one that I like and am used to, but it teaches kids that it's okay to follow a different path then the one their parents set out for them. It lets them know that everything will be okay in the end. While that's not always true, it gives kids hope. I'm giving this short 4 out of 5 stars. It would've been 5, but this short follows the same plotline that's in many other Pixar movies and animations.
