Canvas

Canvas has no dialogues; it simply doesn't need any. Like love, hope, family, memories, heartbreak, loneliness & inspiration - need no words, they are to be felt, and so does Canvas by Frank Abney. A celebration of human emotions. A heartwarming short film on Netflix.

Watched this after seeing a recommendation on Twitter. Haven't seen any advertisements for it. The movie has no dialogue but the it doesn't need words. Everything is acted out and it's a beautiful, tender bittersweet storyline. The artwork is gorgeous, realistic, even down to the freckles on Granddad's cheek. 9 minutes of pure delight. I really hope more people view it.

This short film was not advertised as it should have been. The beauty is in the words not spoken. The plot was easy to follow. The graphics were beautifully done. This was a beautiful Black short film. It should be acclaimed as such.

"Canvas" is a short CGI film with no dialog, so it's a great watch no matter your language. And, it's really extremely well made.

The story concerns an elderly man who is struggling with things most of us will one day struggle with...a loss of independence (as he's now in a wheelchair) and a loss of his life partner. And, like many, he is grieving these losses and feeling not only grief but anger and depression

The production is first-rate. The best part is the music...very evocative and extremely well-suited to the film. The animations are also excellent...with both traditional 3D CGI animation and a short 2D sequence as well. Overall, well worth seeing...but a film to see with a box of tissues nearby just in case.

Give some support to these short films. This one is a beautiful piece to watch, not much just would take 9 minutes.
