Since when is 2d animation a tag? Isn't that what most of the stuff here is? Anyway, this was a very quaint little film. I was getting a lot of vibes from "The Iron Giant". That must have been intentional. I admit there could have been more going on.
Maybe it's left up more to our imaginations. This was a very sincere cartoon. I just now notice the backgrounds. Those trees look so awesome. I think it was watercolor.
