It’s hard not to pick fault in the allegory, but it’s impressive it works as well as it does. There’s lots of fun little details that make me smile (Oh no! These facts and opinions look so similar!)

I also appreciate the portrayal of depression – of not being able to feel anything at all – rather than the usual “oh they’re just super sad”. If only you could fix it that easily in real life!

Animation was good, voice actors were superb.
