All right, I have to take that back. After watching, or to be more precise, listening to it a second and a third time something in the sound of the music paired with the sound of the narrator sparked a new interest in me, leading me to appreciating this short way way more than I initially did. This is now easily at my top 3 favorite shorts I have seen this far.

Would really love to see a translated version of this at some time, no matter how long it may take.



I guess sometimes all you have to do is just search diligently enough to find what you want, for all of those that want to watch this short and actually understand what toto is saying (albeit the quality of the video is rather bad, so I would suggest watching it twice, the first time the better quality while focusing more on the animation, while letting the music and the words sink in, while then on the second watch actually go into what is said):

Fantastic and filled to the brim with harmony and word cadence conveying so much, accompanied by vivid animation.

Dammit, that was a beautiful poem, it was glimmering with powerful words and aura. Loved it, STUNNING VOICE BTW.

Wow, that was so beautiful! It's worth watching it over and over again. Definitely a favorite.
The visuals coupled with spoken prose complement each other well. Stunning piece of art.
