A young boy comes of age in the most peculiar of circumstances. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait. A big surprise awaits the boy as he discovers his family's most unusual line of work. Should he follow the example of his Papa, or his Grandpa? Will he be able to find his own way in the midst of their conflicting opinions and timeworn traditions?

Did you people see the same film I saw?
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This movie is interesting movie. the characters are cleaners of the moon. For the main character, the boy, he has not ever been to the moon. So, he is taught to operate to change phases of the moon. His father and grandfather has each different way, so each tries to teach the boy, they quarrel. 2times. First, they quarrel how to suffer of the hat which the father gives the boy. Second, they quarrel how to sweep stars. General also, by generations difference people quarrel the way to carry out. But, the boy discovered how to break the big star so they come not to quarrel. I think general quarrel is little things. In this story, the boy play a role to inform that things.
"La Luna" is a 6-minute animated short film from 2011 written and directed by Enrico Casarosa. It's his only directorial effort so far, but he also worked on "Ice Age", "Ratatouille" and "Up" in less influential roles. And currently, he is the the co-writer for Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur" which will hit theaters soon. Could be a huge breakthrough for him if it turns into a quality movie. But back to "La Luna". It was nominated for an Annie Award and an Academy award, but lost both to, in my opinion, inferior films.We see two men "one of them looks a bit like the dad from "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs") and a boy in a boat named "La Luna". It becomes obvious that they are grandfather, father and son and the two men take their son to show them their profession for the first time. There is not that much humor in this short film, maybe except the funny looking two men with their massive beards and eyebrows. But there is some decent emotion for this short running-time. You could actually imagines how, maybe 30 years back, the father was the son and the now-old man showed him the business back then. Or also the boy's big eyes because everything he sees here is no new and amazing. Apart from that, "La luna" is certainly a winner in terms of visuals. The moon is amazing to watch and so is his mirage in the water. And the scene with the boy letting one big star explode into many is perfect to watch. But it's also nice to listen to. The sound effects of the clinking stars are maybe the most memorable thing about this short film. The only problem I had with it was maybe that I did not really understand what they were doing for the entire movie. But with the very last shot, this problem is solved as well in a truly creative manner so that everything makes sense now. Excellent short film. Recommended.
A short done by the Pixar studio, this is a very visually beautiful film, which is par for the course with Pixar. It's somewhat different for Pixar in that it doesn't go right for the funny bone. It's charming, sweet and sentimental in nature. At roughly six minutes, it develops a rather fascinating idea with visual brush-strokes (so to speak). Any discussion of depth must necessarily divulge something about the film, so there are mild spoilers below: Three generations set out in a boat-grandfather, father and young boy. At moonrise, the viewer finds out why they're out in the middle of the water. As the film develops, it becomes a sort of coming of age fable, with the young boy showing more common sense than either of his elders.This opened before the film Brave and is also on the DVD release of Brave. A good case can be made that it's more successful than Brave, at least in terms of storytelling, though both films are quite good in and of themselves. La Luna is well worth watching and is recommended.
La Luna is the CGI short which accompanies Pixar's Brave. As always, there is a thematic link with the main picture: in this case it is to do with coming of age and bridging the generation gap.Papa and Nonno take Bambino out in the boat at night for the first time to help them carry out their work (he is given his first work hat). I will say no more about what that work is: that would spoil a number of surprises.The dialogue is cod-Italian, and the music is gorgeous. This charming, gently humorous little film is stunningly beautiful, and has a couple of quiet "Wow!" moments in it. I loved it.
