Not only beautiful, but also innovative, which is something that has been missing from WDAS the past 3 years. Sure, the last couple of films are beautiful but, animation-wise, they're the same thing all over again. That kind of formula started with Tangled and reached its apex with Moana, with the latter having some of the most jaw-dropping animation I've ever seen.

There needs to be a continuation of the Meander style though. Maybe that's the reason Gigantic was cancelled. Maybe things just couldn't work out well with that style. This short though is something new. I'm no animation expert, but I can tell that this is quite different from the previous Meander shorts we got (Paperman, Feast). Instead of having an amalgamation of CGI and hand-drawn animation, each character is is designed on a different medium entirely and both are incorporated into the same scene, i.e., that cleaning girl is CGI, while that sea serpent is hand-drawn animated.
