Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Sorry, this movie sucks
Best movie ever!
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Nice story, remembering classic parables. inspired presence of Alan Rickman. and answer to pressures, in poetic manner, to a child. this poetic side is the best part of a short animation seductive for the art to tell, in right way, old truths. because something missing. the film is beautiful, shining, well made and similar to many others fantasy films. but it is not convincing in real sense. and this is the small sin of it.
"The Boy in the Bubble" is an Irish 8-minute animated short film from 4 years ago written and directed by Kealan O'Rourke. For him, it was (according to IMDb) the last effort as a writer, but not as a director. A bit of a pity he did not enter full feature territory afterward as I can certainly see some talent in this little movie. This also includes narrator Alan Rickman obviously, who once again gets in touch with the wonderful world of magic, even if it is not so wonderful in this little movie. A boy gets left by his girlfriend and decides to enter a magic bubble, so he will never get hurt by any girl again in the future. Doesn't work out as planned in the end and that's a good thing. The animation will probably not appeal to everybody, but i liked just like the story, which is cute and smart at the same time. Good watch and I recommend it. Certainly an underseen little film.
