    So Gorgeous and So Melancholy
    This is one of those films that features our interconnectedness. Mrs. Pig and Mr. Rooster both start their days with the mundane task of breakfast. When it is discovered that they need an item at a grocery store, their lives are changed. The point presented is the way our neurons and our electrons are part of a flow. Excellent animation in this award winning feature. I thought the drawing was excellent.
