This film is about an old man who is remembering people who are not with him anymore while playing the piano. The film made me feel very sad when he was remembering people who had died but made me very happy at the same time when he remembered the nice Christmas presents he had been given. My favourite bit was the bit playing the piano with his with the grandson because it showed me that you should love those dear to you while you can. I think  older children and adults would like this film.

The film is about hope, love, memories and the future.

The story is about a man that is playing the piano and remembering his memories.

The first memory was when he playing the piano and his wife kissed him on  the cheek.

The second memory was that he was running to a wall where his friend was and then his friend died.

The last memory was when he rememberd his mum or dad gave him a present and inside was a hobby horse that he wanted and he pretended he was riding his hobby horse.

Then sunddenly his grandson came to him on his hobby horse. He put it down and came and sat down next to him. Then the man smiled at him happily.

The thing that makes me happy about the story is he has his grandson with him.

But the thing that makes me sad about the story is when he loses his wife and his friend.

The Piano is a film about a man thinking about all of his memories and what happened in his life. He remembers his wife playing the piano with him and leaning over him and giving him a kiss before fading away and he smiles. The film was bittersweet as good and bad things happen. I liked his grandson the best because of the part he played even though there is no speaking in the film. I would recommend this film to both adults and children. The film is about life events and having to deal with stuff now.

The piano is about an old man. He has bad memories about his friends and family during the war. The film makes me feel happy and sad the bit that makes me feel happy is when the man sees his grandson. The bit that makes me sad is when his friend got shot. Then the old man saw his grandson and the man gave his grandson a present. He opened the box and it was a Hobby Horse. The mans grandson started to ride on the hobby horse. Then the little boy played the piano with his grandad.

"The Piano " is a short film about an old man remembering things from his past whilst playing his piano. The music makes me feel quite sad and so are some of the memories but not all of them. Towards the end the man sees his grandson, who plays the piano with him and the old man seems a lot happier then. I think people will like this film if they are a grandparent and like to spend time with their grandchildren.  It is a film that thinks about life.

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite bit of this film was when they were in the terrible, brutal WW2 because it had more action than any other part. I would recomend this short film to my cousin Callum; I think it would make him think of our ninety year old Grandad because he's been through all those terrible things as well !.The message this short film brings is that life can be really tough, but sometimes you have to look to the bright side like having a future with his Grandson.

# data[].attributes.body
In the short film I watched (The piano) the old man played a grand piano in a large dark room.

The music he played was really emotional because it brought back sad memories of his wife and his time in the war. It also brought back happy memories of his childhood and getting a wooden hobby horse. At the end of the film his grandson played with the same wooden horse and then sat with his grandad and played the last note.

I enjoyed the music and would recommend to people of any age.

The Piano is a short animation about an elderly gentleman reminiscing back to his younger lifetime. He remembers his wife, his time in World War two and his childhood (his first gift, a hobby-horse) all while playing the piano. He is then joined by his grandson, back in the present time.

My favourite moment in this film is when the grandson and his grandad play the last key on the piano together because it provides a happy ending to the short film. I would recommend this film for five years old and over. The message of this film is to tell you to look after what you have because you can only have someone or something for a limited time.

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite part is the grandson part because it is the happiest moment in the piano film.

This film is about a man playing a piano about his life.

My favourite part of the two minute film is when the granddad was a little boy and got a wooden hobby horse and was galloping around the room excitedly. Then he changed into his grandson and the grandson jumped on to the pianos high stool and sat next to his granddad. After that them two finished off the last note. My reason why I chose this part is  because the granddad still has a member in his family.
I would recommend it to my granddad

The piano uses music to help us concentrate on the feelings the old man is having. It is both sad and happy, taking us on a journey of some of the events in his life. As he plays, he remembers his wife kiss his cheek, time spent in the war and the loss of his friend and a childhood memory of his toy hobby horse. At the end his grandson plays the piano with him showing that he is not alone.

I like the music the best because it helped me to imagine the story.

I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys music.

The Piano is a moving, caring, happy sometimes and emotional 2 minutes film. Its about an old man who missed his wife and army friend who were both dead but was happy in the end playing with his grandson. I really enjoyed the dramatic music and the end part of the film when the grey haired man gave a hobby horse to his lovely grandson.

I recommend this short film to children over 8 years old only as any younger and they may not understand it and get to upset.

It was a nice mixture of sad and happy memories.

I am writing about the film called the piano  . One day an old man was playing a tune that he played with his wife on the piano it brought memory of his wife back.  she kisses him and the edges of his mouth curl up with joy and hope. She stays with him for a while and then she fades away. The man carries on playing the jet black piano, instantly he remembers when he was in the war and the fatal injury that caused his friends death. Then he has memory of when he was a little boy and got a light blue box with a hobby horse  in  then the hobby horse gets passed down to his grandson. Then he lives happy.

My favourite bit of the Piano is the war scene because I like the war but i don,t like the soldier getting because that is very sad. The message of the film is that music can bring back sad and good memories.I would recommend this animation to my great grand dad because he was in the war. When his wife died i thought it was sad.

This two minute animation is about an old man. It is basically about old life going to new life. He remembers his past and his current life with his grandson. At the end of the short film his grandson rides on his old hobby horse that used to belong to the old man. The music is really sad but at the same time happy. I would recommend this film to any fan who loves short films.

It's a dark gloomy room with an old man playing an emotional tune to himself on the piano. During the film he thinks about people from his past.

My favourite part was when he got the Hobby Horse and my saddest part was when his friend got shot in World War Two.

I think the message of the story is "Spend time with your family".

I would recommend this film to people that are older than two, love cartoons and enjoy piano playing.

The piano is quite sad because the old man , playing the piano , remembers all the things that had happened in the past. First the old, lonely man remembers him and his wife sitting at his piano playing the sad tune. While they were playing the piano the wrinkly man, who's name was Bob felt his wife give him a kiss. Then he felt her go away. Next  he  remembered his moment in the  war with his friend Steve. He told him to be careful. Then Steve ran from behind the big wall and in sight of the enemy . SUDDENLY there was a big BANG. When the smoke was gone Bob found Steve lying on the floor with a bullet in his right shoulder. He picked him up and his last few words were to go out there and win it for him. That was when the memory ended. After that he thought back to when he was a little boy. One Christmas day 1985 there was a blue box with a shiny ribbon on it. When he opened it there was a wooden hobby horse. He also remembered him running around with it. When the memory had  gone he looked beside him and it was his grandson. As they played the tune got happier and happier as it went on. I thought the pianos message was: the people you've lost will always be there for  you.

# data[].attributes.body
I recommend the piano to watch, although it makes you feel quite sad the first time.

The piano is about an old man thinking about his past, first he imagines his wife there. Then thinks about when he was in the war. Thinking more happily he thinks about his grandson and hobby horse. I like the way the music ties in with the film and I enjoyed watching it.

This film represented a look at the old mans life going back in time remembering his wife and his time as a medic in the army. It showed us his happy childhood and then the future generation with his grandson playing the piano together.

The film was about an old man playing a piano, he was looking back on his life and re-living his memories.  He was thinking about family and friends who are no longer here.  The film showed his grandson with a hobby horse like what he used to have.

I enjoyed the screen with the hobby horse.  The film was quite sad, but very interesting.  The film would be better for older children to see.

This two and a half minute film is about an old man and his memories.I thought that the film was depressing by the music and his thoughts,but there is one happy scene were the old man see's his young,handsome grandson. The story starts when the old man begin's his melancholy tune,but just then he saw this white figure playing the piano,it was his wife,who died 7 years ago,playing the piano too.She gently kissed him on the cheek then disapeared.He also remembered when he was in the war as a medic and his brother was shot ; how many more relatives will he lose. He can remember when he got his hobby horse,what a happy memory.I think this film is a film for people who have lost a relative.

'The Piano' a short animated film set to a sad but lovely song. The film captures memories as an old man sits playing the piano. My favourite moment was when the mans grandson receives the hobby horse as a present.

I would recommend this film to anyone over the age of 9 years, any younger they may not understand the message the film is trying to say, which is  'Memories never fade'

# data[].attributes.body
I felt the emotion of the film through the piano. The music was soothing and thought provoking.

My favourite part of the film was the army scene because it was emotional. I would recommend this film to a friend of a similar age.

The message of the film is never be sad, you always have memories.

i think the old man must feel lonely and cold with no-one next to him, in the first scene when the lady comes in it is quiet sad to watch him looking like he is going to cry, or in the war he has got his head held u to the sky and says "why him, why not me" My favourite part of the film is when the little boys big blue eyes look up to the old man and then they smile and play the last part together

# data[].attributes.body
The music really sets the atmosphere of the film and how he feels.First it shows the old man sitting in a dark room with nothing but a piano.He is visited by a pale ghost witch appears to be his dead wife, she kisses him on the cheek and vanishes. Suddenly, it shows a war helmet on his head and him running into war and seeing his brother dying in his arms. Then he finds himself getting younger and getting his faveourite hobby horse as well as riding it everywhere. Finally, he is then again at his piano just as he gets joined by his helpful grandson.

I would recomend this short film to children no less than 7 years of age because it is very amosional and sad.

My faveourite part is when the old man reseives his first hobby horse because its one of the happy parts of the film.

i think the message of the film is that if something bad happens you have to get over it.

The Piano

The Piano is a short film about a lonely , old man remembering bittersweet memories. My favourite part was when the man remembered getting a hobby horse when he was younger. I would not recommend it to anyone younger than 9 years old. I think the message is enjoy people while they are still with us.

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite moment was when what was his wife kisses him lovingly on the cheek, a kiss that shows that his wife really cared about him. I would recommend this film to people who haven't seen the film

before so they can then know how the man feels and the mood and atmosphere of the film.They

would know another style of a film so maybe they could write about it too. The message is that you

do not have to get sad if someone in you're family dies because there will always be a new beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
The Piano is a really emotional film , emotional because it shows you the story of an old man remembering the past and his loved ones. It is the music that creates the emotional atmosphere of the film. I think the important message of the film is to remember the people you love most but also to be positive about the future. You may need a tissue!

I think that the music that the old man is playing at the beginning is very peaceful and calm. When he imagined his Wife the tune of the piano gets more tuneful.Then his wife kisses him gently on the cheek and disappeared into thin air that made me feel sad because his wife has died !!!

Then he remembered when he was in the war with his friend and when his friend gets shot it made me feel very upset .

Then he remembered when he was young and it was his birthday and he really really wanted a Hobbie Horse then he taw open the colorful bright blue creamy wrapping paper!!! And there it was.

The Hobbie Horse that he had been waiting for , for aiges ( when he opened the wrapping papper it got me all excited and then when he started to ride it he was happy and so was i !!! )

Then his Grandson arrived and started to join in playing the piano and then smile at each other with happiness !!!!!

An old man had memories of his past as he played the piano. This short film has no narrative, so the listener must use their imagination. The music is very sad. What I liked most about the film were the images of the old man playing the piano. I would recommend this film to people of all ages.

In the film "The Piano" an old man is remembering some of his memories . He re-lives parts his life by playing his piano. These memories included: being a small boy , a young man at war with his brother and with his wife who has now died .

my favorite moment of the film " the piano" is when the old man is remembering himself getting a hobby - horse as a little boy. I think this because all of his other memories were quiet sad but the memory of him getting a hobby - horse is happy . i think the film is about a old man re -living his life and reminding himself of the sad and happy things .

This two minute film is about an old man sitting at his piano playing softly as the music takes him back through his past. Firstly, happy memories of being with his wife who is sadly no longer alive followed by very sad times in the war nursing a dying comrade. His mind then travels back again to his childhood and he is a happy young boy receiving a boxed wooden horse.

The man's facial expressions and body language help to tell the tale. I found the film very moving yet sad at the same time. I think people of all ages would like this film as everyone can relate to it.

The Piano is a short film about an old man. I think The Piano is good for anyone for 9 years old - adult. I choose adult because when you are an adult you under stand more empathy then you would do as a child. The music really sets the mood of the film. From sad memories about his dead wife to being in the war and playing with a hobby horse. My favourite part of the film is the last bit of The Piano, which is where the elderly man and young grandson share a smile. I think the message in the film is when lif eis though you always need to have hope.

"The Piano" is a two minute film about an old man's life. He's always playing on his piano in the film, while remembering his life. It is an emotional film. That is one of the reasons why I like it. The story is a bit sad in the middle of it but still, I think it is a very good film. I would give it a 4 star rating out of five. I would definitely recommend it but if you are very sensitive then it might make you cry so keep a box of tissues nearby.

This short film is about an elderly man playing the back, shiny grand piano is remembering the happiest and saddest events of his life. A shadowy, ghostly figure joins him, it was his wife. She kisses him on the cheek, and then he starts to remember other times of his life .

He saw himself during the war when his brother was with him and the old man signalled his brother to shoot but he was completely unaware that the enemy were so close. He was heartbroken because his brother had died and he could do nothing to help. This was one of his saddest memories.

He recalls a much happier time it when it was when he was given a hobby horse. He played on it all day and it made him feel extremely happy. Lastly he is joined by his grandson. They both played the piano.

I watched the movie and then listened to the film with my eyes closed. It made me feel sad and miserable at times. When it came to his wife and his hobby horse I felt happy.

The Piano

This is a film about hope for the future. An old man, with his memories, plays his piano, thinking about sad and happy things that have happened to him.

The short 2 minute film is about a man and his memories.He was playing on the piano smoothly then suddenly a sweet old women comes along and kisses him on the smooth cheek.After that it shows you him and his friend hiding behind a rough wall in the war.his friend charged at the enemy he got shot and sadly died in the mans arms.Next he has a flashback when he got his hobby horse.Finally at the end his grandson ends the sweet but sad tune.My favourite part is the grandson playing the tune.I would recommend this for 8 and9 years old.I think the message is you have to get over things that has happened in life.

The two minute film is about a old man thinking about the first he was playing the piano and then a bright white ghostly shadow comes in and kisses the old man softly on the cheek.After that it shows him ad his brother hiding behind a wall in the wars in the early 90's.But when his brother charged at the enemy he got shot and sadly died in the old mans arms.After tat he has a flashback of when he was younger getting a wooden horse toy.Finally at the end his grandson sweetly ends the peaceful ,happy but sad tune.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the music really helps to set the mood and the atmosphere of the film.When he starts the tune all the memories come back to him. The first thing the old man remembers his wife (who is dead). Then he remembers the war,when he and his brother fought. When his brother got shot. I think he felt guilty for telling his brother to shoot when it was not safe.

He remembered his hobby horse, his most prized possesion when he was a little boy. The old man thought about how he felt when he gave it to his grandson. Uneasy, sad. But, when he saw how it was being treated, he felt a rush of gratitude to his grandson.

at the end of the film, the old man and his grandson sit at the piano and play the final note of the song.

My favorite part of this animation is the war scene, because it is scary but sad.

I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone below 9.

I think the message in this film is ' you have to get over things that have happened and live in the present'.

# data[].attributes.body
In this clip an old, pale man is remembering things he has gone through . I really like the part when the boy opens his present and his smile almost goes up to his eyes because I think we should be like that when we open our presents at Christmas and just be really grateful. Some parts were really happy, some really sad and some in between. I would probably recommend this to grandparents.

This 2 minute clip shows a old ,musical man remembering his past.First, it shows the man playing the piano then a pale ghost (his wife) sits next to him.Next, it shows his brother hiding behind a wall, goes out and gets shot and the man holds him with a worried look on his face.After that, it shows the man as a young boy receiving a present from his brother and it was a lovely,wooden horse.Finally it shows his grandson sitting with him and they looked at each other and smiled and then the grandson played the final key with his grandpa.

I think that the piano was very good but also a bit sad.

# data[].attributes.body
The piano is an incredibly clever film, all held together by the moving music. I especially enjoyed the part about the war, this part because it was scary yet sad. I personally think that the music used created just the right atmosphere, neither sad, happy nor scary, but a mixture of all three. I would recommend it for ages nine and over. You will need a box of tissues near you if you decide to watch The Piano although it isn't all sad, on the contrary, there are quite a few happy moments. Having watched the film and concluded that I don't have any criticism (apart from the old woman's clothes, they are never going to make it to London Fashion Week).

Reviewed by Rebecca O, 5SD

Made by Aidan Gibbons, The Piano is a short animation filmed using Computer Generated Imagery (CGI). It can be viewed on YouTube. It has no narrative which means that you can come to your own conclusions about the plot.

The main character is an elderly man who we are introduced to when he is playing his piano. The music he plays throughout the film is a thoughtful and melancholy piece, played in E Minor. The story involves characters from his past and the present. Whilst the man is playing the piece he remembers his deceased wife and colleague. The piece also reminds him of his days as a young, happy boy. These memories make him feel both happy and sad.

The story concludes with the reality of sharing his piano with his grandson and this is a happy time for both of them. My favourite part of the film was the memory of when the man received a hobby horse from his parents as a gift.

This film is an interesting animation about memories and hope but, for me, the main thing I will remember is the music. If you're interested in hearing this piece it is composed by Yann Tiersen and is called Comptine D'une Autre Ete.

I thought this film was very good because it was a good way to record your memories although bits of it was sad .  One part I liked was when the Grandson received the hobby horse in this film.  I would recommend it to my friends and family (I already have :) actually)

My best moment was when the old man was with his grand-son.

I would recommend this film to anyone from 0 on wards.

the message I think from this film is 'be happy about life'.

I think that the film 'The Piano' is quite sad at the beginning. The background is pitch black apart from the spotlight that is on the man [playing his piano] in the theatre. The man remembers lots of things that make him sad but also some things that make him happy. I think that the thing that makes the man most happy is his grandson, who made the man think about how his grandson has such a good life ahead of him just as he had had.

The film starts in a dark room . You see a piano and an old man.His wife appears and you see his journey  through his life.

My favourite moment is when he sees his Grandson  because it is a happier  time  in the old mans life and it makes  me feel happy too.

I would recommend this short film to older  people  because they might share some of his memories .I wouldn't recommend it to children under five as some parts of this film are a bit scary.

I think the message of this film is to enjoy each day and to  enjoy your life.
