Lou

AnimationComedyFamilyFantasy7 min

At recess, a toy-stealing bully barrels through a playground full of kids until the schoolyard’s lost-and-found box pushes back. Hidden inside is Lou, an unseen monster who turns a pile of forgotten belongings into the boy’s main obstacle. The story stays close to the scramble of the playground and the box itself, building its action around dropped toys, missing items, and the quiet tension between one child’s behavior and everything the other kids have lost. With no dialogue carrying the setup, the animation leans on movement, expression, and the shifting shape of the creature inside the box.
