Walking down a rainy isle, listening to the pitter-patter of the raindrops makes Rain Town a magnificent short film I have ever seen. No words could describe of how the story was really well mad. Original and ground-breaking music that always calms me deep inside. This was a worthwhile film to watch.

First of all, I'd like to say that actions speak louder than words. Notice that there aren't words being said in this film, basically means words are not necessarily needed to be understand. Just the sound of the rain needed to make this film beautiful as it already is. The way the characters act around each other was amazing. The bond both the robot and the girl made was inseparable, not obstacle could break them, even fate could break how they loved one another.

Second of all, the breathtaking story that makes you want for more. A story about a robot and a little girl that is so full of unexpected destiny and fate that brought them together. Definitely, the ending was more than a happily ever after. This films makes me cry buckets of water, and of course inside made me hope like no other.

Third of all, the music is seminal. Really beautiful, with the sound of raindrops and the sound of piano mixing together to make a perfect harmony exceeds my expectations. Of course that way the music fit well into the film makes it an benefit of how amazing the film really is.

Fourth of all, the characters are really well drawn. It's not just about the way the way they are drawn too, but the way the characters express themselves without the help of words. Like I said in the beginning, "actions speak louder than words" amazingly fit well in the story.

Rain Town takes us to the future then to past. Remembering friends that the main character met during the rain. As the story goes the title rain town means that the robot the the main protagonist character's grandmother met was waiting a bus stop. Waiting for the child the robot met in the past. Hoping to be found again and played with. This story magically extravagant. In one of the scenes, on how the robot fell because of the rain and oxygen made the metal rust and kept the robot sedentary in it's past position. However, meeting with the current little girl change the way the robot looked at the world.

In fact, the film showed us how we can never be alone in life and how fate can bring people together, but most of all how we can always find a way to bring our loved ones closer to us.
