The story follows a little cloud named Cloudy who helps her best friend Kite get loose from a tree, after having been blown into it by a gust of wind. Cloudy exercises good problem solving in helping get Kite. And Wind comes along at the right time to help out; sharing some useful lessons about various things that wind is capable of doing. The key characters are Cloudy the cloud, Kite the kite and Wind. The voice actors are a delight. Gracia Damsgard voices Cloudy; Cody D. Smith voices Kite and Amy Weyerhauser voices Mountain. The voice actor for Wind is uncredited. I love the look of the animation; it's clean and uncluttered, brightly colored and age appropriate. The background music and sound effects are spot on. I would love to see this develop as a series because the characters are so charming.
The film's creator, Nick Jennings, has an impressive background having worked on a variety of shows for Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network including SpongeBob SquarePants, and winning an Annie award, two Emmy's, a BAFTA, a Telly and a Peabody award. Known for transforming animation into the digital age, we benefit from his production in this sweet short film.
The film's message reminds us how important our friends are and, to always keep our sense of humor as it tosses in a few puns for good measure.
I give Tag, You're It 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 5, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
