Concept: 4/4 (Great)
Story: 3/4 (Good)
Characters: 4/4 (Great)
Dialog: 4/4 (Great)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent). Too bad they don't let you watch them as shorts. It's like watching three movies in a row without a chance to take a breath in the middle - because that's exactly what it is.
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)
Acting: 4/4 (Great)
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites, 4/4 5/4). "Blustery Day" and "Tigger Too" aren't as crazy amazaballs wonderful as "Honey Tree," which is a shame, but they're still delightful.  "Honey Tree," though - that is one of the best things ever made.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.6/4 3.7/4 (Great)
