Warning: Spoilers
I've never been big on feature length animated films, but when I had the opportunity to see all five contenders for this year's Best Animated Shorts Oscar, I thought why not. I'm a product of all those great Warner Brothers cartoons of the Forties and Fifties, so the artistic style of this years' films doesn't appeal to me at all. As other reviewers have indicated what the story here is about, I won't venture into that. Suffice it to say that I wasn't as intrigued by this effort as the other commenters here were.

This picture is a contender for a 2023 Oscar in the category of Best Animated Film Shorts. I was able to catch it along with the other four contenders for this year's Academy Award at the Paramount Theater in Middletown, New York. If not for this limited showing, I don't know how else I would have been able to see it. So, Congratulations to the Paramount for making it available to enthusiastic cinema fans like me.
