I watched this when I was in 7th or 8th grade. Thats been over 10 years ago, I think, as I'm a grad student now. This has always been one of my favorite animations of all time. Its influenced me a lot. I wanted to become a social worker because of it.
its very bizarre, very adult, very surreal and yet grounded and serious with its raw portrayal of injustice. I always felt sad for that little guy. Thank you, Sarkazm.
