Featured review
Cute, funny, and moving.
This is such a wonderful little short film. It's instantly engaging, surprisingly emotional, and the animation/characters are very cute... and it achieves it all in just two minutes.
It uses stop-motion animation paired excellently with classic Godzilla sound effects (and what I think is soundalike music), and the story is just about Godzilla Jr. Coming out as transgender to Godzilla Sr., and that's about it. It's very simple, but very human (even if the main characters are big lizards) and empathetic, and there's something about the approach that really works. I think the simplicity argues that such a thing should be simple and parents should ultimately support what their children feel.
It is an unfortunately contentious thing nowadays, among some people, but this short uses gentle humor, cute characters, and a very direct/simple story to argue that it shouldn't cause conflict or distress, and that if someone feels that way about themselves, then good for them; they should have the right to express themselves, because it's unlikely to hurt anyone. Godzilla Sr. May not understand personally, but he educates himself and supports Godzilla Jr.'s decision, and isn't judgmental. It's a lovely short film, and it does so much in so little time... I always get a kick out of revisiting it.
