An incredible animated short film! It's 6 minutes that are worth it and that change your mood. I really didn't expect anything beyond that, but it surprised me at every moment. "Layla" is a very entertaining, energetic short film with a lot of personality and outstanding.
It has a quite striking color palette that impresses at all times, being visually spectacular and in line with what it wants to convey. The character design is very good, each one representing various feelings. Moreover, the drawing and its lines are very well executed. This short film has a lot of the essence of "Love, Death & Robots," it could easily be another episode of the series.
Its premise is very clever, entertaining, and unique, thus managing to surprise at various moments, especially considering what is usually expected from animated productions. "Layla" is a clear example of commitment and love for what it creates. Her directors stood out for a unique short.
The short film delivers a striking and very important message of reflection for society and especially for today's youth, hitting the key points and emphasizing the importance of childhood, adventures, and good times with friends. The way it establishes that focus on fun upbringing and good friendships, including them in their thoughts, is very satisfying. In addition to that, it sets aside the aspect of sexuality that the current generation has, using a metaphor of technology and informational advancement, connecting common points and taking advantage of it.
On the other hand, it should be clarified that it is not always ideal to pretend to be someone you are not, as it will not always be well received and can greatly influence your actions afterward. Sincerity is synonymous with freedom and transparency within your circle of friends.
Layla is a very charismatic character who adds her energy and personality to this world of short films and animation.
