LION (Made by Esma, Presented by the CG Bros. YouTube Channel 2021)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

Lion—animated short film—suffers from lack of clarity in story line. It presents questions to the point where one begins to look for a metaphorical meaning to the film which meaning does not soon present itself.

Storyline 

A lion needs water and a buffalo prevents it from accessing water. 

Additional Thanks 

Thank you to YouTube for hosting the film. Thank you to the team of Melissa Fournier, Amelie Goursat, Thierry Hav, Gaïanka Martinet, Coline Mesplou, and Pauline Toutain for making the film possible for viewing. 

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Maybe. This film probably is more understandable to the makers than to the viewer; but, it is interesting to examine the story telling ability and animation skills of this particular team.
