Truly an amazing piece of work!, 24 October 2001
10/10

This short, nominated for an Academy Award, is one of the most amazing uses of stop-motion animation I have ever seen! The music is perfect for the action on-screen and the detail work is incredible! Although this is not the best I have seen by Patel, it's close and is an absolutely mezmerizing short. When Cartoon Network was showing O Canada, this ran fairly often. Most recommended.
