Movie Review: Find The True Meaning of Friendship With ‘Kindled’

Friendship is well-known to be a lovely bond. Everyone has someone or a group of people with whom they are extremely close and who are commonly referred to as their best friends. A friend is someone who values you, enjoys spending time with you, trusts you, and in whom you can confide in.

A good buddy is the first person you call when you get good news or merely want to go out for a bite to eat. Speaking of friendship here’s a cute animation all about it and you definitely would enjoy it!

The narrative of a Flame Sprite and a Wood Sprite, little fairy beings in a fantasy world, is told in the animation Kindled. The two create a mutualistic and joyful relationship despite being comprised of distinct components. Their friendship is innocent, yet strong enough to transcend the obstacles posed by the environment and by themselves, even if it means risking or sacrificing something for one another.

Natasha Bishop is a filmmaker from Wellington, New Zealand, who is also the director of this animation. Being only 23 years of age, her short film Arboraceous, which won the Best Animation at the Japan Wildlife Film Festival, earned her the New Zealander of the year ‘Local Hero’ award in 2013.

I like how simple and short this animation is. Despite, the short length, this animation carries a deep yet beautiful meaning of friendship.
