NONA REVIEW: Instant Nostalgia With An Underlying Message That Everyone Needs


Pixar latest Spark short “NONA” is the story of a grandmother called “NONA”, as she plans on spending her day off by completely turning off all the distractions from the outside world, to watch her favorite show “E.W.W. Smash Down XVII”, which also makes her feel connected to her deceased husband, but the reality plays out a little different than she planned. Her 5-year-old granddaughter RENEE is dropped off at her place, as her mother needs to work and if anyone whose ever been kept in charge of taking care of a child knows for a fact that kids require a lot of attention.

What follows next is a series of incidents that keep distracting her while unfolding the beauty of human connections. The people of Pixar are pros at tugging your heartstrings with the simples of stories and animations that deliver and hit you with all the emotions, and they deliver the same with their new SparkShorts as well. The art and stylistic approach for every PIXAR SparkShorts is different from one other and their approach for “NONA” can be described as “PIXAR in the early 2000’s” and without a single line of dialogue, between the characters and with very expressive animation, the story of “NONA” is brought to life.
