In a similar way to Flushed Away, this short uses a CGI visual style evoking stop motion; but while in Flushed Away such kind of aesthetic was reasonably well executed, here the animation has a frankly ugly, outdated look which somewhat detracts the whimsical charm the story has.
In all honesty, it's the villains who steal the show here: These ominous crow-like tormentos had an aura of mystery which made me want to learn more about them.
However, it seems their role is merely allegorical, serving only as an obstacle the main character must overcome, as a symbol of those who prey on the less fortunate.
But they looked cool, disregard of the technical limitations.
