A tiny hidden gem!
3 January 2005
An added feature to the Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers this very short film is a hidden gem.

Poignant music and a gentle, direct story make this a delightful short film. Through the use of very expressive faces and good camera work, Sean Astin gives us a little jewel of a short film, focusing on the value of cooperation and the idea that each person, no matter how small, (or tall) may have an effect on the world. It also portrays simple kindness, given and returned.

A great little film for us all, but is especially well suited to showing children how we can all lend a hand to accomplish more than each could individually.

Many, many thanks to Sean Astin and all the wonderful Lord of the Rings folks who added their talents to this charming beauty.
