This was part of a series of shorts, some very good and others, like this one (yawn) not as effective. While it's an interesting idea, there isn't a great deal of energy to this one (yawn) and it just sort of sleepwalks along (yawn) to the end. If I keep writing this much longer, I'll fall asleep at the keyboard, so you'll have to excuse me. It is worth watching for the animation, though.
