This student animated short has a distinct charm to it and one that is suitable for younger children.
The story follows a character, Dandy, and her friend Sol (the sun) who befriends a rock that has eyes and a mouth and takes the rock to places it always wanted to see.
The animation is well constructed. The story evokes thoughtfulness and caring for others, even a rock. The shortcoming for me is the narrator whose voice is a bit muffled at times. However, it doesn't detract from the overall impact of the film.
I give this film 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 8, plus adults. By Julie S, KIDS FIRST!

A dead star wonders why their dandelion friend hides away; for the first time in a long time, Dandy leaves her home to help a rock do the same.
