Simply A Masterpiece

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

When this amusing short begins, a little girl is positively obsessed with her iPad game, "Pony Place". It's some sim game for little girls where you raise horses and pretend to care for them. But, when the girl goes on vacation, she asks her Grandma Koba to keep her iPad and care for her extensive pony collection. It first, the Grandma is a bit dismissive of the game but she agrees to do it because she loves the little girl. However, over time, Grandma learns a couple things. First, if you don't play the game a lot, ponies start to die! Second, when SHE plays the game, ponies start to die anyway!! What is she going to do? I think the filmmakers did a great job illustrating the generation gap in this computer age. In the process, they created a clever and humorous little film that left me wanting to see more of their work. Well done and very worth seeing.
