The storyline follows Jose as he is having difficulties falling asleep. The Hand appears to tell him bedtime stories which are filled with adventures in a distant kingdom to ghost stories, but nothing makes Jose Comelon sleep.
The animation of this short film is delightful, brightly colored and appropriate for its intended audience of early learners. I love Jose with his multicolored teeth and The Hand is an interesting and kind character - shown only as a hand. I also like that, in all the stories told by The Hand, the leading character is Jose! Kids can relate to the issue of not being able to fall asleep and this short film addresses that. In the end, Jose is too bored to stay awake - but I don't want to give you spoilers. You have to watch it to find out why.
The film's message is that, eventually you will fall asleep, if from nothing other than boredom.
I give Jose Comelon's Bedtime Stories 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 8, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
