How Grandpa is different from what I knew? It turned out that Grandpa was so exacting before. Mon told me when she was little, Grandpa was very strict with them. But in my mind, Grandpa is just like a magician. Whatever I want Grandpa will make it magically appear.

Mon says although Grandpa behaves differently, but his love for us would be the same. And I think, Maybe it ’s because Grandpa started to learn magic after he got old, ha ha, lucky me.


Juror's Comments: Lovely short. Brightly colored animation, good voices and pretty good sub-titles although some are slightly off. Still we get the gist of the film.


I recommend this for the KIDS FIRST! Film festival because it has a good message for kids, is well made and fun. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
