First Born

I suppose the basic premise here-one sibling being favored over the other by their father-is something that happens in reality more often than we'd like to admit. Of course, the way it's portrayed in this animated short might feel a bit extreme... or is it? Either way, the core idea is touching: the child giving their best in the competition despite receiving little attention from the father. I also loved how the siblings are shown to be close and supportive of each other, even when the parent isn't. A genuinely heartwarming short.

Siblings and their competition for attention of father, martial arts and frustrations of a boy, converted in spectacular demonstration. A beautiful short animation for the fair contact of realistic moments and fair end.
