Shade

This is a slight but sweet tale which shows the effect first a baby sister, then a tree, has on seven-year-old Sammy (Ben Lord).

It's good-natured, harmless stuff, nicely filmed and decently acted, especially by Ben Lord as Sam, but unless you've a few minutes to fill, why bother? And the end was a tad too predictable.

Still, it showed the creators' ability to tell a story cleanly and concisely in a short space of time, so good on them for that - now get ambitious, boys.
