The Fan and The Flower

The fan is the center of attention in this animation. I like that the fan is such an ordinary object yet it is the main character. The fan has human characteristics. The fan can dance, fall in love, and bat its eyeballs. The fan and the flower grow fond of each other and try to get closer. What a cute idea for a plot! There isn't much in this animation. The plain white background allows the audience to focus on the simplicity of the plot and characters. There is humor in the narration. The narrator says the fan brings motion to the plants life. The narrator uses noises like bugs buzzing and doors slamming to make the animation feel more alive. There is not much music in the background of the animation. Occasionally there are trumpets or piano sounds. The climax of the story is the best part. The fan kept spinning and finally sets himself free. This allows the plant to get water from the ceiling. The creative plot of this animation is so simple. I could see why the animation was nominated for an oscar. It was a good animation to learn from. I found interesting details and comic relief in this story. There is just a little movement in this animation. Most of the energy was spent on keeping the plot simple.
