Me and My Moulton

With art similar to the ones in the books for children, and a story that speaks to people of all ages, this animated short manages to tell a simple, yet profound story of a little girl and her two sisters growing up in Norway. This seems like a personal story, and it might be hard to directly relate to much that happens in it. It is a movie without any villains or much conflict. It slightly touches upon some heavier themes, but does not dwell on them. Is this a good thing? I am not sure.

In a way, the movie is about the compromises made between different generations, and how different the world and mind of an adult is to the one of a child. And it is explained in a way that a child will understand in one way, an adult will understand in two (having once been children).

I only give this a 6 because despite the positive things I said about it, I do not find the story relatable enough for it to stay with me. It's a book I close and never come back to.
