My reaction
Concept: 4/4 (Great)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)

Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). It starts out very strong; at first I expected it to be one of the best episodes of the series. Sadly, it turns into an unmistakably made-for-children story about cooperation.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.7/4 (Good)
