The film begins with a big-headed little kid scampering about with his toy airplane. You soon see that the kid probably loves planes because his dad is a pilot and the boy imagines he, too, is flying. Later, the child grows and by the end of the film, in a quiet moment with his grandson, he tries to pass on his love of flight to the next generation of cute but big-headed kids!
I see that there are currently two reviews for this short French film and while I also liked it, I felt less enthralled by the film than the others. My lack of great enthusiasm certainly has nothing to do with the great artwork. After all, this animated short film is exquisite to look at and has a terrific 3-D effect--and a terrific style. However, I am less enthralled by the plot itself because it seemed a bit too simplistic and just didn't offer much other than "Dad loved planes, I love planes and now my grandkid will love planes". Nice, but frankly not enough to sustain this movie and elevate it to anything other than a very visually arresting film.
