While I should have been sleeping, I discovered something extraordinary on the web: A film that meets all of my highest standards:

  • It's short
  • It's gorgeously animated
  • The villain is intelligent
  • The ending is satisfyingly complex

*Descendants *is visually rich, even for a CGI film. The story is novel a twist on the old parable, "A bird may love a fish, but where will they live?" But in this case, it's about a flower and a deer. As an added bonus, the villain is exquisitely voiced by Whoopi Goldberg.

Preview it before you watch with young kids; there's no imitable violence, but sensitive viewers might shed a few tears.
