A well crafted cartoon and a beautiful story, 19 December 1999
Author: Irbis (a.drusin@worldnet.att.net) from Charelston, SC

about time and utopic realities. The animation is wonderful and detailed. Everything serves perfectly the telling of the story. And the hand of Asimov is not only in the novel, but also in the adaptation to the screen, so that is faithful to his representation of life. Worth watching a few times.
