I found many things interesting about this animation. The character design to begin with is simple and yet effectively entertaining. The animators manage to keep the viewer consistently interested through all of the animation, but of course it is not to do with only character design.
One of the things that particularly stick in to my mind, was on just on the second minute. It is in the way the sad journey was expressed. By overlapping two separate points of view (That appeared like a landscape view and a close-up ) on different opacity settings, the animators made an impression of the journey lasting hours, when in fact the character made just few steps.
The animators managed to combine successfully two opposites in the animation: the sorrow of rejection and happiness of acceptance. I believe that the more successful animations manage to combine the opposite qualities, as the viewer transcends from one to another, making either feel a lot more intense. Of course there should be a balance, but that depends on the director, and the mood he wants to give to the animation.
The soundtrack contributed greatly towards the strength of what was happening on the screen greatly. It enhances the moments the happiness and joy as well as make the moments of sadness seem more intense.
