This may get you into the Christmas spirit. It's a nice little story about a little creative genius mouse whose artistic value is being drowned by the cold reality of capitalism and Santa Claus. It's about 30 minutes long and reminiscent of the old free Google Spotlight cinematic shorts. Rate 11/10. Workers of the world unite!

Read the letters from the kids. I found one in Ukrainian. The little girl asks about the war to be over. It's a nice cartoon, definitely recommend.

Short and simple story that feels very personal. There’s no interactivity, you can only look around. It’s not a sad story, but rather an instructive one about guerrilla marketing and the impossibility of competing with corporations. The animation and voice acting are absolutely beautiful. If you find yourself pressing buttons and skipping sequences, press a different one and you’ll return to the previous sequence.

One of the best VR short films Ive seen, and Ive watched most of them. This is beautifully done. Not only is it 360 degrees, but its volumetric, in that you can move around in the scene and see it from different angles. It's also a very well written story, with a lot of meaning behind it. Im going to show it to my kids. This is great.

To me, is a well made story. I also feel this is a good use of VR. Not everything has to be a game.
