Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). I should have loved something with this much overt mid-century style, but it didn't do much for me. The rhyming narration is tedious (although it's performed well), and doesn't leave much space for things to actually happen. The result is more like moving illustrations for a storybook than a cartoon.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.4/4 (Okay)
