Rabbits, bears, aliens, artists, and others portray and reveal our shared humanity.

A piece of a jigsaw puzzle gets separated from the other members of his puzzle so he attempts to join other puzzles.

Juror comments: Misfit has appealing animation and an interesting concept. It sparks the imagination in a simple yet charming way.

The story is about a puzzle piece that is separated from its puzzle and tries to find a puzzle to fit in with.

The story is simple, yet effective. It has a nice moral and I like how it was presented. The cinematography is well done; there is nothing outstanding. The setting is definitely unique, though a little vague. It's unclear where the film takes place. The animation has a lot of personality. You can feel the puzzle piece's character in the way it moves. The art direction is creative and engaging. I like the world portrayed in this short.

The message of the film is: there's always a place where you fit in, even when you don't think there is.

I give Misfit 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 7 to 18, plus adults. It has an interesting presentation with a unique moral. Reviewed by Calista B., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic
