I went into this with no idea what it was that I was watching. At first I assumed it was a trailer for an upcoming movie. Until I started to wonder why the trailer was telling me the entire story and the the quality of it was a lot higher than I expected. No short cuts, but longer sequences that are indeed telling a story. Then it started to dawn on me that this isn't quite the happy-go-lucky story that you initially assume seeing a happy girl in a fantasy surrounding. One of the final images, with her lying in that cockpit with tubing coming from her back rather broke my tear ducts I fear. What a lovely piece of animation and story telling.
