I love the stylized animation of the short film, Kid President, especially the moving mouths that wander all over the face. It's a perfect fit for this satire.

The storyline is pretty simple. Kid President dislikes vegetables so he issues a ban on all vegetables. What a concept!? Ultimately, he is faced with the reality that French fries are made from potatoes, which are a vegetable.

This is truly a silly film, but perhaps it evokes a call to kids as to what they might do to change the world they live in like banning vegetables. Don't panic, vegetarians, it's only a joke! I love the animation and the pace of this short film. It would make a perfect interstitial for a KIDS FIRST! Film Festival. And, it makes an interesting conversation starter for kids and families. It's a treat to see such comedy that is so well executed.

This film makes you think about what you might do to change the world, if you could.

I give Kid President 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
