First of all, there is a very emotional and sweet short film that does many things well but also lacks in some aspects.
Let me start with the lacking aspect, which is the screenplay. In the screenplay, nothing really happens to our characters. It would have been a masterpiece if they had embellished the important emotional dialogues with a few events. Unfortunately, it feels like the screenplay consists solely of dialogues aimed at delivering a message, and this is the major flaw. Some reviewers have given the film low ratings like 4, 5, or 6 because of this, but I think they are definitely being unfair. The film excels at what it does well.
The music, drawings, voice acting, and animation were all adorable and touching. Especially the atmosphere was very poignant. Just for this reason, I believe it deserves a 7 out of 10 because these aspects were truly valuable.
The underlying message about home was beautiful. I won't list all the lovely dialogues, but there were some really cute ones. It would have been great if they had added 1 or 2 events within the 10 minutes of the story, unrelated to the main message, so that some of the messages wouldn't have felt unresolved.
Love, being loved, friendship, and the concept of home are the most important parts of our lives, whether we realize it or not. Most of the bad things in the world are caused by homelessness (in an abstract sense) and lack of love. I wish everyone could learn to be loved and to love, just like Fox and Boy in the film. I also understand Horse's discomfort from feeling jealous. I wish this feeling didn't exist either, and I wish everyone could be as fun as Mole and complement each other. Hopefully, one day it will happen...
