Short Movie: If Anything Happens I Love You

This short movie is only 12 mins long. It is a 2D animated movie, mostly black and white and colors used to bring attention and depict positive emotions. There are no dialogues in the movie, only background music and a song.

It is a family of husband, wife and a daughter. Husband and wife are not on talking terms and their shadows represent dark emotions. They are in grief with the loss of their only daughter. She was shot and  killed when she was at school. Her last message to her parents was 'If Anything Happens I Love You'.

While doing household activities, mother is reminded of her daughter. All the memories come back to life. Her husband too joins her. Daughter's shadow brings her parents together.

Animated characters in this movie bring deep emotions to the surface. No parent would like to lose their child. But if it happens, it can be a very sad event for them. Life can take sudden turns. So you would agree with the message of the movie: 'If Anything Happens I Love You'.

This movie did win an Oscar award. I watched this on Netflix.
