Produced by Pixar in 1997‚ Geri’s Game is a thought provoking‚ but mediocre short written by Jan Pinkava. The animating of Geri’s hands was awkward and Geri‚ the main and only character‚ was a little creepy as a result of the abnormal editing.

Therefore‚ Pixar would be advised to re-edit the motion picture using modern editing

Thus reads an ancient stone at Thermopylae in northern Greece‚ the site of one of the world’s greatest battles for freedom. The book is told in a circuitous way; I found the jumping back and forth in time a bit distracting‚ but more off-putting was the way Xeones forecasts an event or subplot before narrating it in detail later. Already knowing how Thermopylae turned out‚ I was hoping for some suspense
