Disney Short Animated Films: On Netflix

I was blown away by the short animated films I watched last night. My favorites are "Paper Man" and "the Little Match Girl".

"Paper Man" is a pleasure to watch. It starts with a meet-cute and ends with ****Spoiler Alert**** a meet-cute. It shows however, how things like love, friendship and possibilities can bring color into even the most boring life. I would highly recommend watching it!

"The Little Match Girl" is one of the saddest, most profound disney short films I've ever seen. The music pairs perfectly well with the animation, to deliver a narrative that the audience can immediately connect with. It's about a little girl in poverty, who sells matchsticks for a living. She doesn't have the luxury of a family or even a closed space where she can keep warm on wintery nights. Using her imagination, she plays with her matchsticks to create warmth and love. The ending is open to interpretation....

Other Disney short films include "Frozen Fever" and a "Tangled" short film. They are cute, but are more on the fun-side, rather than meaningful side. I would still watch them for entertainment!

Ultimately, be sure to check out this Disney collection on Netflix. You'll be in for a real treat :).
