Despite the age of this film, the brilliance it is able to accomplish is a testament to the creativity cinema has to offer. The wonder and imagination that is implemented into the story brings color to a story originally told in black and white. Although the effects presented in this film are tamed to the technology utilized to bring modern cinema, the amount of effort that was taken to bring the world to life can be admired upon in today's standards. The story is bombastically original, having quirky moments of absurdity while also delivering upon subliminally intriguing environmental messages. Due to the lack of dialogue, most of what happens can be interpreted in different ways making for a film that can easily be rewatchable. However this can be troublesome in areas due to how events perspire without any definitive explanation as to why or how it happens. Despite this though, being one of the earliest in existence, this film is able to amaze still to this day through its wondrous and imaginative storytelling most modern films still struggle to.
