The Boy in the Bubble, By Kealan O'Rourke
Is wonderfully animated, and only eight minutes short.
About a young lad's first true love and quick heartache,
He protects himself inside a bubble that can't break.
You'll instantly recognize the voice of the narrator,
Alan Rickman, a.k.a. Severus, from those films of H. Potter.
This tale's by turns creepy, Tim Burton-esque, and quite moving,
As the boy in the bubble reawakens to loving.
When a girl with green eyes makes young Rupert's heart swell,
The bubble he's trapped in bursts, breaking the spell.
It's won lots of awards, and in the very near future,
Big time Hollywood producers are turning it into a feature.
It's at the Brattleboro Film Festival, and it's narrated in rhyme.
So hurry, don't miss it - it'll be gone in no time!
