This Animated Short Shows Us What Makes a Hero
Do you want to know what makes a hero? Here is a wonderfully animated short film that takes us through the process of what makes a hero in the stories we read and watch. It also explains what we have in common with these heroic characters. The video was created by Matthew Winkler and animator Kirill Yeretsky for TED-Ed. This is a must-watch video for anyone who is an aspiring writer or filmmaker. There are lessons to be learned here. It's also a metaphor for life and life experiences.
