Magic & Nostalgia



This short is hauntingly beautiful. It inadvertently reminded me of the great times spent with grandpa when I was a little boy. As we grow older, we tend to dismiss magic as something trivial or childish because we have developed our own beliefs on how the world works. I did, like many, lost connection with magic until I rediscovered that "child's state of mind" when I was 16. Since then, I never looked back. Magic has always had a profound effect on me, and this short has just reinforced that, time and again.
