All Style, No Substance
6 October 2019
I love animation. I especially like discovering a new animator. Unfortunately, this isn't one that I will look up in the future. The animation was gorgeous, but the story just stops. If there was a part two, maybe that would make this abrupt ending acceptable, but since this one was released 4 years ago, I'm going to guess that part two is never coming out. Would it really have killed the animators/writers to write a complete story? Add in a minute or two to explain what that was? When I was younger, I would have rewatched this, tried to glean a deeper meaning, assumed I lacked an understanding of art and raved over the brilliance. Now I know better. The conclusion was a chintzy shortcut for a production team that didn't know how to write a satisfying, comprehensible ending. I wondered how this short could have gotten such a high rating, but then I noticed only 374 people have rated it. That's probably friends and family of the production. If you're a fan of animation, it is pretty to look at and has a nice style and it's only twelve minutes of your time.
