This was a really great cartoon and it worked because it was so emotional. The animation is still pretty high in terms of quality. I am glad you included a synopsis in the author comments. It certainly didn't make a lot of sense to me at first, but that's never stopped me from liking something before. I like how you really try to appeal to our place in the Universe and not just how science works. I think the stuff the scientist draws on the chalkboard are actual scientific equations.
Of course, I doubt they're about time travel. The music was just gorgeous in this. It's something like this that makes you realize you don't need to have dialogue because the music gives you all you need. It's an interesting and profound cartoon and it's great you're getting recognized for it. Hard to believe it took only a week to make!
