“They had two girls… and a boy…" (then cue tiny distinguishing appendage). One of those went on to have a daughter of their own and it is she who narrates this amiable short film about her granddad. He was expert in all the Persian martial arts, took great pride in his moustachioed appearance and was madly in love with the most beautiful woman in the world. Was he too good to be true, though? This is good fun as it builds nicely to a conclusion that did make me smile. I like this style of almost pulsating animation - it reminds me a little of the “Mr. Benn” films I watched as a child, and there is something cheeky and engaging from our storyteller who paces her delivery like a pro. Well worth five minutes.
