Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites, 4/4 5/4). There are a few cartoons that I like more than this (for instance, "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery," Pixar's "Boundin'," several Don Hertzfeldt films). But I wouldn't care to argue that any of them are better than this.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.6/4 3.7/4 (Great)
