The animation is unusual and not very familiar at first, and its multilayered meaning makes this cartoon on one hand similar to previous Ghibli creations, on the other – completely different. For example, the “drawing” – a stunning watercolor paradise for the eyes!

This style complements the essence of the cartoon very, very successfully.

In the end, it turned out to be a kind cartoon for children, but at the same time, gloomy for adults.

Are they taught this in tech project emails?)
