Stand Up: Harmony and Hope

By Adelina Hill

Stand Up, directed by Jenny Morgan, is a heartwarming seven-minute animated musical film featuring endearing furry creatures that harmoniously sing about their endangered environment, urging humans to rally against fracking.

Facing the threat of losing their homes, they seek your support to preserve their habitats. The song showcases captivating solos and addresses the risks of fracking, culminating in a resounding chorus advocating for a brighter future.

The only minor critique is the audio quality, which occasionally sounded scratchy—though this might be attributed to my computer speakers.

For its charming furry characters and meticulous animation, I rate this film four out of five stars.

Adelina Hill is a current college senior at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. She spends her time reading and writing and you can most likely find her with a book at her side at all times. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and adopted at nine months of age and moved to America. Her biological younger brother soon followed as well. Adelina wants to become a full time author and work for a publishing company writing fiction, fantasy, and horror; anything that is slightly out of the ordinary catches her eye. Her other hobbies include fish breeding, hand feeding hummingbirds, listening to music, and riding horses. She hopes to one day be on the NYT bestsellers list and become as great of an author as her great grandfather, Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich.
