I'll be honest, most of the score is for the animation. It is both different and appealing, although it does appear to have been crafted through digital, rather than traditional, means.
As for the 'story', there is none. Nor is there any logic or reason. It is merely an excuse for a series of vague, innocuous, and simplistic platitudes made to appear deep and meaningful through presentation. The words the 'characters' come out with, are the kind you would expect to see on a generic motivational canvas that you find in the bargain bin at the local pound shop.
Does that sound harsh? Perhaps, but that's exactly what they are. That's not to say the 'lessons' taught are meaningless. However, they should have been presented as part of an engaging story and characters. It is a perfect example of someone forgetting the literary rule of "show don't tell". This is ALL tell.
The well-known voice actors do a fine job of imbuing the animals with life and emotion, along with the excellent, stylised animation, but I feel they are simply there to mask the shallow nature of the overall product.
Take what you will from it. You could have a small selection of motivational flash-cards that would be just as effective.
