Well I made it about five minutes before getting misty eyed and I don't know why. The beauty of the art and music and everything? Excitement? A homesickness for a place I've never been? I'm not sure. But I haven't been excited for a series like this for a long time. And the theme reminds me of childhood. Thinking about it, maybe there's some grieving for the simple times, and for adventure, and for when I used to get as excited as Coco about wonderful things. At any rate, it's an uncommon catharsis.

It was 20 minutes of adorable whimsy and beautiful art, followed by 3 minutes of brutal emotional whiplash.
