From the title, it looked like it was going to be The Little Mermaid. I wasn't that far off because it does take place in the ocean. It was interesting how you were able to piece the story together with the images. True, I did go and read the author's comments because I was confused. It's just a very gracefully told story. I hope we can all learn to accept our problems like this.
At least, I think that's what the cartoon was saying. It helps that the animation was gorgeous. You know how to get cute characters down so well. The title makes it also seem like a merry go round. You know how to get a lot of different interpretations with just a title.
