I like how the boy grew up to make so much money just to follow his childhood dreams.
its good he got his dream
I rlly liked this I think the message is to follow ur dreams and don’t give up
He wasted his life selling lemonade but he went to space but realistically that would not work but it is well animated.
Yes it is unrealistic but can we take lessons from it? Or can we only learn more real-life examples?
I think it means that you should look forward to certain things.
I think the message in this video is that the more effort you put in ,the better outcome you get. He was dreaming of a rocket to go to space and you could see the disappointment on his face when it wasn’t what he expected. After he sold the lemonade, got more money and poured it into the machine, his dreams of a rocket, flying through space finally came true, but only because he put in the work for it.
Interesting point Anna and links with the mention of perseverance mentioned by others.
I think the animation has been done brilliantly. I was quite surprised in the time-lapse part as I expected him to go to university etc.
I partially expected the ending but I still think it was very good.
5 Stars
I’m glad you enjoyed it Kai. It’s interesting how directors convey time passing. Can you think of other ways they achieve this?
Its very ambitious
I think it gave a message to persevere on your dreams.
Yes I agree Poppy.
I thought that it had a great message to never give up on your dreams and to keep trying. At the end, it also had the message that your inner child is always inside you.
Hi Lola. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
It was a very happy story with a great ending
it was a happy story and its great he could fulfil his dream
It represents that you should follow your dreams but i wouldn’t go as far as wasting my life over it
Fair point Isabella.
I actually felt sad after watching that, it just shows that money holds too much power, even at the start, if that machine had been free, he would have been able to fulfill his dream sooner, in fact, he could have came back and lived a normal life in addition, he instead had to work his entire life to get enough money to fulfill his dream, I do, however, think that the moral is right.
That’s interesting Jospeh. You see money (perhaps capitalism?) as the cause of the problem. I never thought of it that way but I can see what you mean. Do you think it’s right he sells lemonade?
I think it’s nice that he followed his dreams and didn’t give up. You could really see the perseverance in him and the determination to not give up.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Emily.
I like how he didn’t give up and its a good message to follow your dreams
I think it was good and it represented that he didn’t give up and he followed his dreams.
I loved this video! I liked the way that when he got older he was more successful, and I loved the message never stop and always keep trying until you achieve your goal.
