In a Heartbeat

Within 4 minutes, I felt a whim of emotions that most hour long movies can't open my mind and heart to. The animation is eye candy and the symbolism is very poetic.

Another truly wonderful thing this film accomplished is that given the political topic of LGBT support, this film innocently opens not only our minds, but also our hearts to those who do face unnecessary judgment for something as innocent as a grade school crush. And to establish such a strong defense with 0 dialog is beyond incredible.

I recommend everyone to not only watch this but to spread it to as many friends as you can. Share the beauty and love that this film offers

An unique connection is established between two souls who decide to spend their human lives together. Such a feeling of love, knowing that someone cares and looks for you, is hard to equal. So, there is this search in life when we try to find our "soulmate", an experience worth remembering and cherishing. Everyone can love.

Allegorically, like Sherman in this film, my heart was torn from my chest. It floated about as a spirit in search of how the plot would develop. At the film's conclusion, the heart returned to my body along with a warm euphoric feeling. My review of the animated film is simple... So beautiful, that in under four minutes it was able to create such a heartwarming feeling to a worldwide audience. Gay, straight, young and old alike. This is indeed an incredible accomplishment.

This is unarguably a finely-tuned, short animation that tells a touching, universal story without words. The creators of this short have done noble work, as artists, as story tellers, as social commentators and as humanists. The awards should be forthcoming, and are well deserved.

You have to watch it for yourself. This little, cute film shows that being gay, straight, and anything in between isn't just about sexual attraction. It's about romantic, love-attraction. I grew up in a small town where I often heard that "gay people only care about sex." This piece of art illustrates beautifully, humorously, and seriously that that just isn't true.
