For the beautiful animation style and great music alone, I can recommend the short film "Ice Merchants" to everyone. The father-son story itself is not particularly exciting, but it takes a back seat to the technical aspects anyway. Director João Gonzalez definitely has a unique style that everyone should discover for themselves.
“Animation is cinema. Animation is not a genre for kids. It is a medium." - Guillermo del Toro The fact this didn't win best animated short film is a crime.
what a pretty animation. and the pretty form to speach about the parental control., the importance of making and even a climatic an migration critic, Really a good one, My top 2 to win the Oscar.
This is a true work of art. The viewer shouldn't worry too much about the parts that may not make complete sense in our physical universe. It's a beautiful fable and probably needs more than one viewing to "get" it all.
Simple ideas conveyed in a poetic and emotional way. Surprisingly moving.
This a beautiful and touching tribute to the bond between father and son, as well as a reflection on the effects of climate change and human resilience. It is also a celebration of cinema as a language that transcends borders and cultures. Ice Merchants is a film that will warm your heart even as it shows you a cold world.

**Grief comes in all hues of reds and oranges.** The striking animation is enough to grasp my feeble attention - enough to distract me and hit me hard in the stomach. When we lose someone, there are things that attach that we lose too. The vibrancy. The color. However, the things that last lasts and the effect it has persists. The panning to the pile of hats is enough to tell the entire story. How the hats would be comprised of reds and yellows in the bottom, of reds yellows and oranges in the middle, and only reds and oranges at the top. **In our lives, colors come and go.** And when we fall, the foundations, the memories, and the essence that those who've left had left for us will save us in times we feel most alone.
