Whoa.....this is pretty cool and very weird!

When this animated film began, I was bowled over by its art style, choice of color palate and drawings. It was a bit like a Klasky Csupo animation but still different and unique--and it sure caught my attention.

The film consists of a strange surreal fantasy that is the result of an astronomer's dream. Much of it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense and I really don't think it's meant to--it's more like an odd stream of consciousness that you just sit back and enjoy without questioning. I say just sit back and watch and enjoy the music. Provided you are the type person who loves unusual animations and doesn't need a traditional style or narrative, you'll have a good time.
