Perhaps the least satisfying character is the singer, Shawn Colvin, who is necessarily on stage the entire time and exhibits little variability. It’s still a cute character, though.
The Starlighter (2018?) is an exercise in charm, in the rarely seen art of cut paper for animation, and in the original, and sometimes disturbing, forms of fairy tales and fables, as sung by Shawn Colvin. Constituting a story within a story within a story, from the audience it requires concentration and a delight in whimsy, and an acceptance that twenty minutes is all you’re getting.
The audience for this may be small, in more ways than one, but they should be delighted by the varied characters, the slice of life approach, and the technical competence of the entire production. If this sounds at all interesting to you, dip your toe into The Starlighter.
