Although the clay animation it was, the shining spot of the film would never be underestimated, at least in my mind. It was really a unique, personal and wonderful animation film this year and later! For Adults, the more stuffs will be conveyed if the more life experience watchers had been passed through. It shows how irreplaceable and constant is the friendship of our human being, and shows how far-reaching is our relationship to us. The aside of the film keeps great appealing to the watchers, and some scripts are also full of ironic humour and sensibility. I recommended this animation strongly! Thanks for the producers giving us such a great moving film!
