My impression of The Lost Thing


 First, I’m going to write about the plot of this story.

 

 A boy was walking along the beach. Then, he found a certain thing. It looked like not only a thing but also a creature. When he talked to it, it suddenly started moving. They played together. After that, he visited a man whose name was Pete and looked into that thing with him. They couldn’t get certain result but they supposed that it was just playing lost. One day, he received a plate on which strange arrow was drawn. This arrow was drawn on various spots and he and the thing followed them. Then, they found a place where many things were living in.

 

 I think the “thing” that is “lost” is “liveliness”. People in this video look always tired and they don’t show their smiles so much. I supposed it is because their heads were full of working at all times and they forgot enjoying something. Also, when I watched this video, I felt there wasn’t a pleasant atmosphere in people’s daily life. But when I saw the world where many things were living in, I took in their liveliness. Compared to the human’s world, they looked they led a free and easy life. It seemed that they were enjoying their life.

 

 I suppose the animator wants to say people forget to enjoy their life because of being busier than the past. I assume the reason why the animator described human’s world and things’ world is that to compare these two worlds. Human’s world looked tired and depressed. On the other hand, things’ world looked happy and cheerful. I think the animator wants us to make much of enjoying our life and also, make our life happy.
