This pops up in my feeds as some must see cult animation on par with Heavy Metal or Fantastic Planet. It's not. I appriciate that it all had to be hand animated, but it looks cheap. You can see some of the interesting character design and rotoscoping like movements; but the animation is budget. The character design is pretty basic. Don't confuse an obtuse, but basic plot, with profound. The best part was some of the architecture, but nothing felt cohesive. It is a also-ran foot note of experimental animation of the time.
