La Luna is a beautiful short film that the whole family will love. It’s the story of a boy, his father, and grandfather whose job it is to clean the moon. There is no dialogue, only grunts and sounds of exclamation. This makes the film all the more evocative, and ultimately triumphant.
You might have seen La Luna shown before the feature, Brave. It’s a Pixar, computer-animated film written by Enrico Cararosa and nominated for an Oscar for best animated short film in 2011.
