The story unfolds in a world obsessed with wealth and superficial values—it's quite a visual feast. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in the vibrant, sometimes chaotic animation style. There’s an interesting contrast between the Midwest setting and the extravagant desires of the characters. The voice performances bring a whimsical yet cutting edge to the narrative, making it both quirky and thought-provoking. It's not just about the shiny objects but what they represent, which gives it a layer that collectors might appreciate.
