Review of Lou

Lou (I) (2017)
9/10
Pixar vs. bullying
18 January 2024
There are two things that make Pixar a fairly beloved production company in the world of animation despite its ups and downs. The first is the artistic and visual quality of the films it produces. The second is the stories that his films tell and that leave a thoughtful moral that goes for both children and adults. Lou is a fairly short animated short that offers a glimpse into what happens inside schools. Everything is narrated through a mysterious creature made up of the objects that the children lose at recess and who ends up confronting the school bully, but leaving the story with a moving ending. You could say that this short film does one thing well and that is trying to understand a little about the topic of bullying at school. From both this short film and various psychological analyses, it is clear that bullies are children with repressed feelings or a traumatic life that they try to hide, making themselves feel strong and respected through intimidation. The short film gives an idea of what is the source that leads a bully to do what he does and how to solve it, although there are times in which bullies are impossible to correct depending on the mind of each person. Still, the purpose of this short film is quite appreciated and that makes Lou another Pixar project worth checking out. My final rating for this short film is a 9/10.
