    The hand-knitted hats!! Somebody in the art department had the best week.

  2. Kwame D

    Watched it twice, the second time with headphones. The forest sound is doing half the storytelling.

  3. Aisha K

    The mushroom reveal got a proper laugh out of the whole office. The timing on that cut is perfect.

  4. Tom A

    Those woods glow. I would love to know how long the lighting pass took.
