This animation is visually stunning and imaginative with a relaxing soundtrack. Its slow pace and the near absence of sound effects is relaxing but the flip side is that it's somewhat soporific. This audiovisual lullaby seems longer than its running time of 1 hour 20 minutes. There was almost no dialogue, other than one word, "Hey", and minimal sound effects, such as waves lapping against the shore and birds tweeting.
I enjoyed the original plot, though it didn't logically hold together, for example the man not only didn't build a shelter or vessels to catch water but we only see him spearing one fish, he never eats the crabs or any of the turtles he encounters despite knowing how to start fires to cook them (though of course if he ate the giant turtle then the film would have to be a very different one to what we are shown).
