    I think I can say that the animation is pretty amazing. Yeah it's a little rough around the edges, but it has wonderful movement in it. I also really liked the colors that were used (the "dull" colors and then the "bright" colors used to identity objects was terrific). I also liked the animal animations, you can tell some serious work and thought went into the animation.
    First off I want to say that this is the coolest music video I have ever seen. Secondly I think it is the strangest animation I have seen. The underlying theme I would say is the way computers have kind of taken us over, and we shape ourselves through computers nowadays. Also how this is affecting nature; we seem to be sacrificing nature to go along with computers. Also there is a bit of a couch potato theme. I have to say that the visuals do a really good job of completely enthralling you, and the music just makes the ride smoother. I would also like to point out the likeness the "main computer" has to a virus... food for thought.

It's a human grater!!!!!!!!

    Well I liked the animation, it was a good blend of detail and general textures. I particularly liked the shot where you could see the petal had vein-like things in it. I also liked the strange creature they created for a "Romeo". The fly-like things were also interesting too. I probably liked the decomposing body the most, the maggot s were particularly good.
    Well this one has a theme kind of like 850 Meters in that what the flower hoped for happened, just probably not in the way you expected.  Also there was a "love makes you do weird things" moment in there to.

Sigh....................

     Well I thought the animation was ok, I didn't particularly care for how bland the textures were though. I did on the other hand really like the characters, in particular the old men. I really liked the market of aging, skin, teeth, etc.
     I think the major message of this animation is that the next generation tends to continue the arguments of the previous. I say tends because if we were to keep bickering over the same things there would be no progress. this is shown in the last minute of the short when the "next generation" continues the argument over adding, but it is slightly different, and could possibly be resolved (because they are not as invested as their predecessors).
