You should watch this right now. It's 2 minutes of an excellent animator at his peak. It's a music video for a positive song that follows the song's emotional highs through the life of a boy growing up. The transitions in this are beyond words. The crumpled paper and photographs. The aging. The relationship with the dog. The song itself is also just great. If it seems like I'm struggling for more words to fit the minimum, that's because I am. But the reason I am is that this is an emotional piece first and foremost. I'm not in a mindset where I can putthat into words just now.nnIt's a real treat. I can't recommend it enough.
