Wow, that was so wonderful! This was 2009?! It looks way newer! I'm at least glad it was submitted here eventually. The animation is of course fantastic. I'm glad it wasn't cynical at all.
It was just a sweet cartoon from beginning to end. You could do more with this character and this world. Aww, so you were clearly inspired by Miyazaki. He has never made anything bad. This was just so adorable. I love that plant guy.
