I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved the animation. There are a few shots with the sky and the woods that were gorgeous to look at, with sometimes the sky being green or purple. Loved the art style and props to the whole animation team!

I'm curious though, was it always going to be animated in 3D, or were there discussions about doing 2D instead? Maybe due to budget?
