This is one of those shorts that will be remembered for a long time. It is not the special effects, it is not the outrageousness of the characters, it is not the super-duper adventure or whatever. Everything about this story is simple, from the animation to the narrative. There is humour all around us, everywhere, on a daily basis. It is a matter of paying attention to the little funny things that speak to anybody and everybody, and bring them to the screen. That is, precisely, what this short does. The humour is Universal, white and clean. This short has some of the style and feeling of Warner Bross + Hanna Barberah cartoons of the 1950s, which had a mix of innocence, naughtiness and fun. It doesn't matter that the story is simple or that not a word is uttered. Why do we need words? Birds don't speak English, you know. Yet, you will laugh.
