Juror comments: Admittedly, I am a huge fan of the animations from the clever Bum Family. This short does not disappoint with its colorful animation, fun voice talent and wacky storyline. I will say that I had to watch it twice to catch the storyline, but maybe that's because I was just enchanted by the fun images.


I definitely recommend this to the KIDS FIRST! Film Festivals, and it would be very fun to include their past work along with it, if you have the time. 5 out of 5 stars, recommended for ages 7 to 18. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST! Juror.
