PR02: La Luna Animated Short




In the Pixar short 'La Luna', the twist actually comes part way through the film. The type of twist used here is the 'reversal of perception' as we are told that our (and possibly the boy's) perception of this fictional world was wrong; it is revealed that the moon is actually a lot closer than it looks, and it is the boy's companions that usually change the shape of the moon with lit stars rather than the moon appearing different because of the rules and physics of the world that the audience lives in. Despite the bickering of the boy's two companions throughout the film, it shows that they can work together for this cause, which makes it a very sweet, endearing short. This is the sort of thing that I wouldn't usually think of when hearing about 'twists' in media since they usually come with shocking or weird revelations, but this twist is much more subtle compared to that,keeping the atmosphere calm and positive.
