'Starship' is a heartfelt story of dreams, adventure, and relentless perseverance. However, the core of the narrative is constituted by something far more simple, and thereby, endowed with the potential of acquiring an unmissable universality in its appeal. It's the affection and tenderness of a father-daughter bond.

The brief duration of the film packs a complete story, defined with neat boundaries of a beginning, middle, and end. A daughter is pushing the frontiers of the universe in pursuit of a goal that is only realized at the film's conclusion.

When it arrives, by then not only has the protagonist completed a journey, but so has the plot, as well as the viewer who has come along on this ride. The metaphor of the eternal presence of a parent's love is entwined with competent animation and a fitting background score, tying it all together with a coherent and comprehensive communication of all of these intentions.
