Sweet Cocoon (2014)

This animated short film tells the story of a caterpillar who struggles to get into the cocoon. Two insects decide to help the caterpillar, and they finally succeed in facilitating the caterpillar to undergo metamorphosis.The story shows that cooperation is the way to succeed, and helping others is a good virtue. It is an enjoyable animation. Just as I thought the animation is very children friendly, the unexpected ending surprised me a lot. I guess children have to learn that things are not always smooth and perfect in the real world.

eulogy of comradely. funny and sweet. and dramatic. wise choice for children about basic values and the need of the other, about beauty and its price. colors, characters, details - all more than beautiful. this beauty is completed by the simplicity of story. amusing, nice, touching, it represents a form of poetry about small beings and wise pledge for solidarity.

This another short coming from the ESMA school of Animation and has the good-quality trademark that most of their students' films show. The animation is very good, clean, very fluid, nice backgrounds, good lighting and great characters. To me, the characters and the story make any short film. The caterpillar, the weevil and the cockroach are the only characters here, but they have distinctive personalities, are funny, and are very well animated. The story is simple, probably not original, one of those lessons of nature that we are all sad to know, but that is life. However, the film is very charming and funny. The film is wordless, just sounds and grunts, but very enjoyable. I think mostly for children.

"Sweet Cocoon" is a 6-minute animated short film from France, but don't worry, there is no talking in here, so you won't need subtitles. It is about 2 beetles who help a fat caterpillar get into her cocoon. The animation is the biggest strength here for sure, its good enough for a full feature film. The story is fine for 6 minutes and the plot twist at the end certainly elevates the movie and makes you think about it a bit more. I am always surprised when I see so many people directing such a short film, but here it was fine because the final outcome was a success in my opinion. I enjoyed the watch and recommend seeing it, but maybe not to very young audiences for whom this may be a bit too serious. A thumbs-up from me. Good job from everybody involved.
