This cartoon short took all the elements that made the original short so great, and ups its game. The animation is better and a lot smoother, the humor is better, and the plot is better. This cartoon’s creativity is simply bursting with personality. On top of that, it also manages to hit the audience with a pang of poignancy and pathos. And of course, the gorgeous, and absolutely pulse-pounding climax still remains, to this day, one of the best and most exciting pieces of stop-motion animation ever committed to film. Honestly, there’s nothing more to say. This is a charming and delightful treat.

Rating: 5/5
