Sadly Over-hyped
A Brilliant Conflict
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The way it has been enacted evokes entertains and evokes genuine laughter at the character's predicament, and the irony of it all, and was staged very imaginatively, with the film-makers using the means at their disposal, taking full advantage of the milieu of animation.A good way to act as a bridge between heavy-stuff being played in the other shorts. Worth a watch for sure.
