Far from the Tree

Raccoons resolving intergenerational trauam and ending cycles of disfunction. What more could one want!? I was crying by the end: both because I am a generally emotional person, and because the emotional impact was so well executed.

Referring to "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" saying, it's a simple message for parents NOT to repeat the mistakes of their parents. Communication is king. Tastefully done in a warm, fuzzy, Disney way without being too preachy. Also it's great to see Disney pumping out some 2D character animation ... even though it's only a short.

Charming and sweet. It perfectly gets across its message in the small amount of time it has. The animation style looks really nice. It's an older style but looks really fresh.

It was a warm, cute short.

I've never been so emotionally moved by a short before, but this one got my eyes all misty. This was an amazingly simple, yet powerful short that conveyed so much emotion without a single word, and nearly everyone can relate to this shorts central message. Truly one of Disney's best!

No words, but all the emotion of an awesome piece of work! :-) The animation is a little simplistic but still looks very nice and well done, conveying all the emotion and fear required by the short.
