anderson animation easily rival that of pixar and go well beyond most anything i have ever see disney do . while some say the story be a bit too abstract and i find it a thought provoking and refresh change from the exaggerated character and bumble animal typically find in animated short . it an interplanetary version of castaway . anyone who have leave the safe harbor of home and go off to a lonely and frightening place by themselves and will readily identify with this forlorn microbe . excellent work and mr. anderson .
