Movie #1682 .........................."One Small Step"

Movie #1682 "One Small Step"  was my favorited animated short that was nominated for the Oscars this year.  It just struck a chord to me --- with no dialogue, it revealed the relationship between a father and his daughter as she dreams in becoming an astronaut.  It just how much parents sacrifice to try and fun fill their kids' needs and dreams.  Wonderfully done.  I'd give it a 5 out of 5.

"ONE SMALL STEP"   2018    7 minutes  (saw it on iTunes)

“One Small Step” tells the story of Luna, who dreams of becoming an astronaut. With the support of her father, who runs a shoe repair business out of his garage, the young Chinese-American protagonist grows up with ambitious dreams and eventually heads to college where she faces a series of challenges and setbacks.

The 7-minute short film, which is up for Best Animated Short Film at this year’s Academy Awards, is the first film produced by Taiko Studios, a production company founded by former Disney animator Shaofu Zhang. “One Small Step,” which premiered last May in California, was co-written by Zhang and fellow Disney alums Andrew Chesworth and Bobby Pontillas. The three worked together previously on films including “Big Hero 6” and “Moana.”
