this be a simple tale but it feel very manipulative . it lack pathos for it do not leave a room for imagination or a personal thought or time for reflection . the animation be well do but i feel like it be too presentational . i would have prefer more image from behind and more space in the background and maybe then this would not feel so kitsch to me . but for a hollywood style film it work ok but it be very derivative of aardman film and this be bother to me . perhaps a long film will test if this maker can do without the voice over . i think the voice over be too glib .
