Betterave & the Dragon: The Quest for the Impossible

By Rhea Mursalin

Betterave & the Dragon,  an animated short film by Orane Delongeas, follows a young individual on a quest to find a legendary creature in order to make an impossible request. The protagonist offers a valuable object to the dragon, the master of the beyond, in exchange for the return of their deceased pet. This film showcases unique animation, a heartfelt storyline, and an overall moving outcome.

Delongeas creates a captivating project that explores themes of loss, grief, and the strength it takes to let go. I found this film to be a comforting watch, with a storyline and plot execution that are both different and intriguing. Additionally, the vibrant colors and dream-like moments contribute to a lovely end product.

I would give this film a rating of five out of five stars.
