| User ReviewTravis SThis is the best piece of short animation I have ever seen in my life. I seriously teared up while watching it. |
| User ReviewAaron EExtremely sad, ultimately, even though it only portrays the achievement of a dream. How we work all our lives towards something, only to feel happiness for a little while. An animated short that shows you how life is in the little things. That if you put your mind into it, you might as well make it reality - I mean, even kiwis can fly. |
| User ReviewBobby LJust maybe the greatest thing under 4 minutes of all time. |
| User ReviewJames JIn the time and age of cookie-cutter-CGI "comedies" featuring talking animals and supposedly cool pop culture comments, the magic of what animation can really achieve is often forgotten. Only Pixar reminds us continually of the wonderful opportunities animation has in its storytelling, both in its visuals and its characters. Kiwi! shows how it's done. For starters, its title (and single) character is silent - no silly one-liners here. And yet, he is a fully developed character and the fact that he gets characterized simply via mimic and gestures is one of the many wonderful things the creator has achieved. The animation is simple but distinct. Kiwi's big expressive eyes endear him to the viewer as does his resourcefulness in his preparations. The animation's clarity adds to the overall effect and the theme music is great also. One should not talk about details of the story for fear of spoiling the experience. Again, it's a simple one, almost fable-like. It uses its diminutive bird protagonist to say something profound about the human condition - how far one would go to achieve one's dreams. |
