"R'ha" is an American animated short film from 3 years ago. It runs for 6 minutes and is the first filmmaking effort by Kaleb Lechowski. This is probably also why you should not be too hard on his work here. Still, unfortunately, it's a very forgettable effort. The animation is fine, but that's the only plus I can think of. The characters are not particularly interesting and same can be said about the story, to an even bigger degree. Instead of elaborating on an edge-of-seat story in terms of writing, they seemed to have invested it all in the special effects, so we see the Statue of Liberty collapse for example. The ending is somewhat open, so it looks like a possibility that there will be a sequel at some point, maybe even a full feature. However, this is still Lechowski's only filmmaking effort to this date, so maybe that's all we got. I would not be too mad about it as watching this short film did not get me interested in a possible second film. Not recommended.
