"Cavallette" or "Grasshoppers" is an 8.5-minute movie from Italy. It is animated and got director and writer Bruno Bozzetto his only Academy Award nomination 25 years ago. To me personally, the animation style did not appeal too much. It looked like taken right out of a comic book and could have been much older also judging from the visual aspects of the film. But there are positive things too. First of all, this certainly makes a great watch for everybody with an interest in global political history. And the music is really great as well, a worth addition. These two factors make it worth the watch. Bozzetto lost the Oscar to Nick Park, who was nominated for 2 films that year and I think it's fine that Park won, but this little movie here is also not bad at all. Thumbs up. Oh yeah and there is no spoken language in here, so you won't need to be able to understand Italian to enjoy this.
