The storyline follows a mother iceberg who joins a walrus and a seagull to find a better escape for her and her daughter from the evil water bottle company warming their seas.
I like the simplicity of the story and the way it could be easily followed by young people. The animation is 2D and fairly simple. At times the colors are a bit confusing, but for the most part the animation is well executed with interesting camera angles and shots that serve its purpose. The backgrounds are simple and allow you to focus on the characters. The voiceover talent is excellent with good definition between the different character's voices. They truly capture the essence of the animals and icebergs that they portray. I loved the dynamic between the mother and daughter icebergs. They are so cute and funny. This short film would work great in a classroom setting but is also suitable for 1:1 viewing. The theme of the film is about the importance of saving the environment before it is too late.
I give A Tale of Two Icebergs 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 7 to 12, plus adults. This would play well in KIDS FIRST! Film Festivals, particularly any that are focusing on the environment or climate change.
