I will start of by stating that I thought this was very different and better than what I expecting this to be. While I do have experience with the director's other works, this has a level of charm I feel to be absent in most of the other stuff directed by this man. STORY This is a modern take on Shel Silverstein's classic, The Giving Tree. The director takes the base of the story and takes a different approach than the original, but maintaining the charm that brought us all to love the original tale. Instead of a tree we have a chair that can move onits own. The story is very Disney-esque and I love the nostalgia it gives. ART Easily the strongest aspect of this three minute short besides the piano piece that play throughout the whole short. It gives off a very Disney look and is visually striking. SOUND Dope piano and strings. I felt the Disney so much. I don't see the Ghibli at all. ENJOYMENT The only parts I wasn't enjoying was the stupid noitaminA intro and the fact that it ended so soon. I loved how magical and nostalgic everything felt. Unlike most of the other things I have reviewed for this site I had a genuinely good time with this three minute short and I would recommend this to anyone. To end with, I would recommend Walt Disney's Fantasia since it has the same exact style of storytelling and Rain Town as it is directed by the same man.
Paulette's Chair does a lot more in 4 minutes than many other shows do in 24. We never really think too much about the inanimate objects that we interact with on a daily basis. Whether it's a desk, a bed frame, a laptop stand or a little chair, these objects support our daily lives and see us at our best and at our worst. This cute short reminded me of all the personal objects I owned growing up and how many of them were always intertwined with the way I lived, daydreamed, worked and eventually matured. Even though I didn't necessarily recognize the landscapes and scenes fromthis short clip, its entire atmosphere still felt somewhat familiar and almost nostalgic. The whole thing reminded me of my ~youthful innocence~ Overall, what stood out to me the most was the animation. I thought the art style was very pretty and quaint. The soundtrack was also relaxing and set the clip's atmosphere very well. Score Breakdown: Story: 7, Art: 9, Sound: 8, Character: 6, Enjoyment: 7, Overall: 7
