A love story that will be in our heart, as the song said “will go on and on” and for many people around the world we “will never let go”. This movie represents how love can transcend time and play a vital role into our own life and choices.

Our number 1 choice, although only the animated version was nominated for Best Picture, we do believe the real life version is a winner in our hearts. This film portrays love beyond appearances, social backgrounds and personalities. It shows how love can help you change and find the real you.
