The Little Matchgirl Audience Reviews

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Kirpianuscus It is special for many reasons. first - for the delicate beauty of animation. second - for Russia as location of the story by Hans Christian Andersen. not the last- for the rehabilitation of classic Disney mark. because it is an old fashion film. not only as form but in its spirit. a film about the well known girl with matches. great not only for its impecable, moving art. but for the status for the inner child to be, too, in his so familiar universe.
Armand it is one of films who are not defined but story - well - known - but for art to translate in image a classic text. the science to present new nuances for Andersen story . and, in that case, the job is remarkable.for the grace of details, for the smart solutions, for the lovely animation, for the blue and white and gray, for the magic and for the last images. a film like an embroidery. delicate, simple, touching, honest and hard careful work. the little girl is different by the original character but the new details are beautiful homage to the author. a lovely short film.useful for the remember of childhood emotions.
TheLittleSongbird Ever since I was a little girl, I have been deeply moved by Hans Christian Andersen's story. It is so beautiful, so touching and so poignant, yet I don't consider it depressing in any way. From the very start, I had immediate sympathy for the Little MatchGirl of the title, and I was hoping this Disney short would do this amazing story justice. And it does.The Little MatchGirl in my opinion is a small Disney masterpiece, it is very short, but it is beautiful in every meaning of the word. I am a huge fan of Disney, not only of their films(Beauty and the Beast especially) but also of their Silly Symphonies like The Old Mill and Flowers and Trees. The Little MatchGirl is yet another favourite of mine from them.The short has no dialogue or voices, all through visuals and music, and this worked. The animation is simply stunning, the backgrounds, character features, the architecture of those beautiful Russian buildings and colours are consistently amazing. And I have to say the music is outstanding, this was a piece of music- Borrodin's String Quartet no. 2, Nocturno- that I really underestimated, it is a truly beautiful work that is put to perfect use and beautifully performed. The story is still poignant and touching in tone, the title character I related to immediately and the pacing is just right.Overall, a superb short, like I said with The Old Mill, I forgot I was watching a cartoon and thought I was watching a work of art. 10/10 Bethany Cox
ito-3 We all should see this short film because it helps us to be aware of human suffering and needs, specially now when we are more concerned about spending our time and money only in appearing better than the others and in buying such a trivial, absurd and useless things, and yes, specially now that we are making cult to vanity and selfishness while there are so many people around the world, and around us dying of cold, being homeless, being in despair and starving of food and affection.A great story with a great music, sad but at the same time beautiful and tender, as we all humans are, after all.
