This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

View MoreIt's no masterpiece, but it tells an entertaining (though too surreal for its own good) story with nice animation. Some of what I assume to be metaphors are far too strange to make much sense, but taken at face-value it's merely an amusing tale with good visuals. It has a very abstract style of animation, but unlike the abstract story bits, it actually works well. It fits nicely in the "Animation Express" collection on DVD/Blu-ray, which is where I viewed it. I believe its current score of 5.5 is a bit too low, I think maybe a 6.1 is better for this one. It's perfectly fine, If mediocre.
