What a lovely short fantasy animation this is. Perfect for letting your imagination wander.
The story follows a little girl, Little Luna, as she explores her imagination and travels to a host of magical places. This short is part of the Gorjuss Anthology, which is a series of bedtime stories for children using the image of a Gorjuss doll.
The film's animation is stunningly beautiful. Luna is so cute you relish her every movement and the narration, in iambic pentameter suits her so darn well. The background music is quite lovely although it often overshadows the narration, making it difficult to understand what is being said. The images of Luna's fantasy are spectacular - outer space, dancing, dreaming, discovering worlds beyond our own and finding a star in her pocket, a string from a magical moonbeam. She dreams so big that she makes them come true.
The film's message is to dream big and allow your fantasies to materialize in whatever way possible - be it real or make believe.
I give Little Luna 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for age 5 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

As society races faster and louder towards modernity, Gorjuss is a nostalgic reminder of the human psyche; a gentle nod to our childhood courage, hidden insecurities and innermost thoughts. 'Little Luna' is the very first Gorjuss girl to be brought to life. She manifests an inspiring narrative for us all, encouraging girls everywhere to defy expectations.
