In this amazingly high end Animation/CGI, the anthology in parts is enshrouded with: horror, pathological sexualizing, fetishism, blood splattering violence, post-apocalyptic, post modernism archaic adaptations or transformations, objectified genitals, philosophy, fantasy, consumerism -> Story Telling. Few stories were truly engaging. Be it of Zima Blue (my favorite) & his (or its) failed quest to replicate the creativity of cosmos; or the journey of Three Robots as post-apocalyptic sightseeing travelers; or Jibaro, the lethal dance of love, lust, greed & destruction; or The Witness, wherein time becomes cyclic & protagonists stuck in blood tainted loop of miscommunication & carnal lust; or the Drowned Giant, metaphorically reflecting (via a dead Gulliver’s tale) the human’s -> nihilism, their bland state of evolution & the clash of academia with trade; or The Ice Age, basically meaning start & end indiscernible, in this time dilated saga of evolution; or Fish Night, the tale of dimension/age overlapping or high in dreamland.
The only thing missing in the series, despite having everything: from high end creative animation to endearing tales (excluding objectified bodies) to coated imbued ingenious adaptation/transformation of fantasies, was -> somewhere, soul + emotions were missing. As if being narrated with akin to in a benefit-cost ultra pragmatic pattern.
All said & done; some stories were truly captivating.
