“Water Lily – Birth of the Lotus” (2015)

The animation on this short is great, and has a rather mystical and otherworldly feel to the whole thing. It tells a kind of nice little story, even though most of the short’s events are shrouded in complete mystery, and are left completely up to the viewer’s interpretation. I feel like if had the pacing been slower, and the relationship between the two leads been allowed to develop a bit more, this could’ve been a truly incredible work of art. But still, it’s decent, and it’s well made, which is all I expect from an animated short.

Rating: 3.5/5
