Effective is a word I would use because it covers the bases of family, creativity, and imagination from a child's perspective. Which links to animation, colorful and full of life.
It is vibrant and works with the themes of the plot and the desires of the characters. Which, again, contrast well with the imagination part of the child's mind with how each character must overcome said idea.
As a whole, it is the strongest of the 4 shorts of 2011 in terms of simplicity of story and message yet fun expression with animation.
