Good concept, poorly executed.

A Masterpiece!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This short animation film is simply fun with the monotonous background music. A snowman in a snow globe try to get out of the globe in some ways. It's especially interesting for me that he hits his nose with a hammer. I've thought this is like "Toy Story". And then I can understand why I thought that because the director is the same as "Toy Story". I have such a snow globe, and I imagine there is a snowman who wants to get out in my snow globe. If so, I feel a bit sad although I don't feel sorry for the snowman in this film. He should and have to be there as you can see from the ending of it.

Knick Knack is a short film about toys. A snowman which is inside a snow dome wants to get out there and have some fun. It's quite a funny film, but there is some serious side. Seeing other toys hanging out from inside the dome, the snowman wants to join them. And girl doll invites him to join them. He is really glad to be invited and tries to get out of the snow dome somehow. His efforts are kind of funny, but those show us how desperate for communication he is. He is captured in the dome and can't touch other toys. I can't laugh at him simply. His loneliness is the motivation for his actions.At last he can get out of the dome for a moment and meets a mermaid doll. When he takes a step to her, the dome falls onto him and he gets stuck in the dome again. His interactions are prevented by the dome again. Maybe the same things like this happen in our lives. The difference is just whether we can see the dome or not.

I think this film is very cute! I like the picture of this film. The back music is also cute and makes us happy. Next, in this film, there are no dialogue, so we can understand the story line of this film easily. Next, I thought snowman is poor although his deed is cute. However, I enjoyed the point that he can't do well. He try to go out again and again, but he can't. I like this point. Also, I thought the way to go out is interesting. He uses various ways to go out. However, He can't go out well. I like this film because this film is so cute and fun. I thought that this film is suited for children because there are no dialogue and short film and this film is cute.

This film will satisfy everyone even if anyone watches it because a lot of complications and resolutions appear. They hooked me. A snowman challenges in some ways to escape from his dome, and when he is focused on, it seems that he does grand actions. For example, he uses a drill, a hammer and dynamite. However, it is funny to see his actions from human's eyes because a tiny toy merely tries various means in the small toy's world. This switch of the angle in camera is amazing to me. Moreover his efforts do not succeed and fail in breaking out the dome again and again. His failures were shown cleverly so that I admired it. I thought that it was surprising that this movie was a kinf of Pixar films, but this story was not happy end. I have an idea that Pixar films would do well eventually, but this is not like that. I was mocked by it in good meaning.
