Writing a review


Do you remember Paperman?


Paperman is a short produced by Walt Disney animation studios and directed by John Karts. It won an Annie and an Oscar Award in 2012.

The action takes place in New York, in the 1940s, and the main character is a man who works in an office.
This man (we don't know the name) is very sad with his monotonous life. One day, he meets a woman at the train station and he feels love at first sight. Later that day, while he is working, he sees that the woman is being interviewd in the opposite building. He tries to send her paper-planes so that she notices him, but he fails. When the woman finishes the interview, he leaves his job to try to meet her, but he fails again. Then, the magic begins...

I was impressed by this movie because I really like the animation. It is a very romantic and interesting short. What I liked the most is the magical point you can see at the end of the movie, this was very surprising for me.


Now watch these videos. When you finish, chose one and write a review and post it in your blog, together with the inserted video.

The review must include:
  • Introduction
  • Setting and summary
  • Personal opinion  










Don't you like any of them, then you could try these others...
