Follow Your Heart, Animated Shorts (Rob O’Neil, 2015): USA

Reviewed by Bryan Austin Gillison. Viewed at the Santa Barbara Film Festival 2016.

Follow your heart made the internal external

but it wasn’t an Inside Out rip off,

it’s an original

Some say that a heart on your sleeve shows your cards

but this animation prefers Saint Bernards

for those with big hearts end up with big companions

Each person in this story has one of the canine relation

They walk them on leashes, forget about sleeves  

and each dog-like heart shows what each person needs.

Of course this story is one about love

and I won’t give it away but it’s best not to handle hearts with kid gloves

so give into desire, and set your heart free

let it wag and wiggle, leave at once! Flea!

as you rush to buy tickets and get a good seat

you’ll find yourself pleased as a georgia peach

when you’ve seen the wonders animation can bring
Follow Your Heart is a true film treat.
