This is a short film released last year called "The Boy Who wanted to be a Lion". It was produced by the Brazilian-British production group, SINLOGO, and directed by Alois Di Leo.
The animated film is about Max, a seven-year-old deaf boy growing up in the 1960s. One day he goes on a school trip to the zoo, where he sees a lion for the first time. Since that moment, a big wish started to grow inside him, leaving aside everything else.
As you can see, the animation style is very special, and creates a unique environment that catches the audience attention.
The story leaves a message that can be understood in many ways. There's a struggle between what someone wants to do and what someone must do. In addition, there is another issue: "Should i follow my dreams, no matter what?" The end of the film can make this question even harder to answer, since it can be a little bit shocking.
This film shows a really good way to propose that question, from a different angle.
