About
If you enjoy playful, wordless stories powered by music, this short delivers a quick burst of humor and charm, a bit like Boundin' and Soul; Not for you if you want lots of dialogue or a longer story.
Pros: clever music-driven storytelling; funny visual gags; charming, brisk pace | Cons: single-setting simplicity; little girl can annoy; very short runtime
