TRACE, A

A Trace is my new favorite film of the day. Beautifully animated and addressing a difficult topic of absentee fathers - or parents.

The storyline follows a little girl whose father has left the family and her feelings about that. Ultimately, she is able to let go of him and realize that her family is herself and her mom.

Great animation. Beautiful rendered. I love how the little girl is created and the backgrounds are also quite wonderful. But, the focus here really is on the storyline, which is told amazingly well, without narration.

The film's message is about being able to let go and move on when someone walks out of your life.

I give A Trace 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Marissa S., KIDS FIRST!
