    Perfection

    How to create something great in only a few minutes..? This was absolutely heartwarming, beautiful, harmless and zen in every detail... Such vision.

    The music was also sublime for this.

    I love grogu, its calmth. Inspiring Taoism.

    You see, it was meamingful to me that way, and personally I couldn't ask for mor meaning in 2 minutes. A deep bow, full of pointless love to this one ;) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) (%)) <3...

    Zen and Dust Bunnies with Grogu: An Exuberant and Unsettling Adventure that Combines Peaceful Meditation with Extraterrestrial Cuteness

    "Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies" aims to combine the calm realm of Zen philosophy with the endearing chaos presented by Grogu and dust bunnies, making for a lovely yet slightly confused experience. Moments of unexpected warmth and hilarity are created when the beloved Star Wars monster Grogu is juxtaposed with the idea of Zen. The animation style is adorable and charming, perfectly encapsulating Grogu's alluring charm. The attempt to incorporate Zen ideas into this fantastical world, meanwhile, occasionally causes a tonal conflict, leaving the audience divided between true moments of serenity and wild sweetness.

    Although the idea of examining mindfulness via the eyes of dust bunnies and Grogu is original and imaginative, the execution often fails to weave a coherent story. Some viewers might feel a little confused by the way that the peaceful moments are intercut with Grogu and the dust bunnies' malicious actions. In spite of its sporadic inconsistencies, "Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies" is a fun experience that manages to evoke happy and contemplative moments for those looking for a humorous and unique approach to mindfulness.

    3 minutes of my life I'll never get back

    It's pretty boring. I really can't think of anything positive to say about this short except it's 3 minutes too long. It reminds me of a great school art thesis but without the deep meaning. Maybe the people were on something when they made it. I'm not even sure how Disney could out it out there? Why wouldn't they bury it deep in the vault? It's pretty boring and I have to write 600 word, but honestly the movie is only 3 minutes and it will take longer to ready this then it would to just watch it. So go watch it.. Save yourself.. Hurry I'm almost at 600. Almost there! It's your last chance.. done.

    Nobody is waiting for this

    It has absolutly nothing to do with Star Wars. The drawings are terrible, the story is worthless and even the music hurts. Do not watch it: it is terrible. I never saw anything worse. And that includes the Holiday Special. It has absolutly nothing to do with Star Wars. The drawings are terrible, the story is worthless and even the music hurts. Do not watch it: it is terrible.

    A very cute little short

    I don't know what people here expected and are so salty about? I enjoyed it, nice animation and just general cuteness.

    Not much more to say about it, it's about 3 minutes long so I can hardly make a long review about it.

    Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?" "No." "I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis... was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians... to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying." "He could actually... save people from death?" "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities... some consider to be unnatural." "Wh- What happened to him?" "He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself." "Is it possible to learn this power?" "Not from a Jedi.
