La Luna月神
This video has three characters in total, a little boy, a hard-working Dad and an obstinate/stubborn grandpa. They clear the stars on the moon everyday. Then, one day, Little boy finally can do this job. Everything goes successfully before the large star arrives at the moon. Dad and grandpa work very hard to destroy the star, but they cannot destroy the large star. Thus the little boy touches the star and let it shine. An amazing thing happens: that star rolls down from the top of the moon. Little boy wins.
This is what the La Luna is about, then.
Actually, the La Luna has the perfect special effects to make the audience feel excited, and character models as meticlous as I can see their pores. Thus the story also lives up to the animation‘s excellent production.
