of all the giving tree films, this one is my favorite. it has a great imaginative aspect about it that sets it apart and reminds me of my mind as a child... but, i don't think they captured the mother-son relationship that touched me.
i think people should be less critical. it's such a short, but profound story. a lot of the story lies between the pages... in the blank spaces. it's all about interpretation.
something to be regretted or despised, however; it is what makes giving (and receiving) possible. The more you blame the boy, the more you have to fault human existence. The more you blame the tree, the more you have to fault the very idea of parenting. Should the tree's giving be contingent on the boy's gratitude? If it were, if fathers and mothers waited on reciprocity before caring for their young, then we would all be doomed. "
Is this a sad tale? Well, it is sad in the same way that life is sad. We are all needy, and, if we are lucky and any good, we grow old using others and getting used up. Tears fall in our lives like leaves from a tree. Our finitude is not
The tree was the world the boy was humanity taking and destroying so sellfishly and the world still loved the boy. "Unconditional love" Such good tidings..
amazing work

The animated tree puppet adds a lot to the story. She moves like the tree in the book.

it almost feels like the forest is inside...
Why does it look like the boy is going inside when he opens to door?

I kept waiting for the tree to eat the boy or something.
I love the book, this video kinda freaked me out. It had the lighting of a horror movie and the vegetation reminiscent of Little Shop Of Horrors.
In the book, the tree was a tree and the boy was a boy. You can put whatever message you like with it.
Personally I consider it rather propitiative of the tree. There could have been much better accord including offspring of the apple tree and the boy.
Sadness is its draw...
