The Man Who Planted Trees
(1987)
Toward the end of his life, he lost the habit of speech. Or
perhaps it was that he saw no need for it - Christopher Plummer

1 2 3 H Honorable Mention (Top 3 Animated Shorts Films)
No greater than it seems, but as great as it is -
meaning straightforward, epic and eloquent storytelling.
The animation itself does not wow, although the
painstaking creation process does, which is a labor of love similar to
the undertaking of the story’s protagonist. The style is pleasing, like
Renoir paintings brought to life.
Meaningful character observations and better-world
contemplations draw you in emotionally. By story end you feel the time
was well spent.
