Madama Butterfly Animation

This short,recreation of the opera, Madama Butterfly, was very beautiful. The characters were elegant and well played out. And the concept was done in a different way that let users still perceive the same idea. The whole animation itself was beautiful, with all the little details and I loved the fact that they used a Ken and Barbie doll to represent the Americans, and a Japanese -style doll to represent her.
The sound was brilliant and I feel like the opera wasn't too overpowering, and all of the effects matched what was going on in the particular scene. The sounds really captured the mood also.
The fish tank and the fish signified her baby inside her , and the water/fish tank was the body fluids; and when the tank cracker, that was her water breaking. The fish that came out was her baby. Why they choose a fish - I'm not really sure, maybe because it was different on the inside, and changed when the baby came out. So from a cute, fish that doesn't really do anything but swim around in the fish tank, to a baby that whines and grows.

My favorite part was when the mother was hanging on the string like a kite, and the boat came, and her eyes opened for the first time, in wonder and happiness. I think that was the best emotion ever.

Overall, this is an animation definitely worth seeing, it's short and sweet and has a very sad ending. But it's a great story and opera wrapped into an animated short that anyone can understand.
