My intake on the film

The short film made for its book ''The Lost Thing'' was incredibly heartwarming. All the small details included intrigued any unsuspecting eye. The protagonist ''Sean'' , was the ''rainbow'' in a dull and bland world. He was the only one to notice the odd ''Lost Thing''. The film dipicts thetruemeaning on what's on the outside not the inside.The storyline fits well with the scene, and i thoroughly enjoyed viewing it.
