Oh my goodness, I just watched this and it's my absolutely favorite film of the week. The animation is terrific but the storyline is even better. It made me smile, cry and think - all in less than 4 minutes.
This student-made film by a university student shows such depth in a short time. The illustrations are beautifully created, down to Granny Smith's tears! The story shows the great amount of love that GS puts into baking her pies and, when the apple is down to the core, her despair -- only to bake yet a few more pies and then, finding the seeds to plant a new apple tree. It is really about resilience and love and community - as she feeds pie to her neighbors for free. Love it.
I give Granny Smith 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. It's a gem. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
