This animation short by Colin Hesterly is absolutely adorable with many nostalgic features. The artist makes spectacular use of the 50s Disney animation techniques and creates beautifully retro aesthetics.
His minute-long video has a strong Dr. Seuss vibe to it with its imagination-stimulation and uplifting narration targeted towards children and in a way, also adults. The speech advises both children and adults to be creative, curious and hardworking.
The film reminds me of a Disney trailer from the 1990s and emphasizes the valuable message of stimulating our brains and to finding beauty in all surfaces.
It reminds us that as you follow your curiosity and discover your passion, diligence and hard work are what will make you unstoppable.
