What a lovely film and yes, perhaps a sad ending, but it does represent the circle of life - with all its ups and downs.
The storyline is about a boy who is guided by a shadowy figure who shows him his future - from boyhood to adulthood, parenthood, old age and death.
Beautifully and simply animated with quiet piano music in the background, the film takes its time to savor all the beautiful moments in the boy's life. It sort of reminds me of the book, The Giving Tree, in how it takes the audience through the cycle of life seen through the eyes of a single person.
The film's message is about the ups and downs we experience in our lives as humans and how our journey is seen from the outside point of view.
I give The Escort 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

Shown all the events that will transpire in his life, a young boy must find peace in knowing all the bliss and grief that comes with life.
