I thought this was was a very creative 2D animation, using simple characters who are seemingly transparent rather than opaque, who represent day and night. The animation does have a sort of storyline as both Day and Night come to respect each other's differences and learn to accept each other.

There is also some interesting animation in the 'background' of the two different characters, some 3D, some photographic. The practical uses of this sort of animation could go beyond this but I feel that this animation puts these effects to good use.

I don't think of it as a fantastic, great animation though. I'm not a violent person but my preferance is with action, and whilst the cartoon fighting is amusing, it is not as gratifying or as thrilling as something The Gift was - although undoubtedly the production costs between each of them are likely tremendous.
