A good story doesn't need fancy animation and I was looking for a beautiful story to be told in the simple lines of this short animation.
But as the story progressed, I kept thinking to myself, "This is how children die!" This is not healthy exploration, but a bunch of kids taking unnecessary risks. There are at least two times, that if this was real life, these kids would not have made it.
Yes, it's symbolic of a deeper meaning, but stories have to be believable, and this one is not believable.
Still worth watching for the beauty that it could have been.
