Sadly Over-hyped

Disturbing yet enthralling

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.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

"La création des oiseaux" or "The Creation of Birds" is a 10-minute animated short film from almost 45 years ago written and directed by French-Canadian filmmaker Frédéric Back. He did not have any of his 2 Oscars when he made this one here. There is no dialogue in here, so you won't need subtitles, even if you don't speak French. I must say I am not the biggest fan of Back's style, but that is just personal preference. Sadly, the story/plot which sounds so interesting in the film's title is very forgettable in here. Early on, it looked a bit like Mowgli from the Jungle Book. So yeah, I did not have a particularly good time watching this one and I can see why it did not get any awards attention whatsoever. A forgettable 10 minutes. Not recommended.
