Happy People is no different. It’s just a great doc and has so much to offer in its storytelling and cinematography. Highly recommend this.

My main disappointment comes from the use of goofy live action in a bad ass stop motion film. It just wasn’t needed and looked bad compared to the animation.I also wish the plot had been a little more obvious; I think it had something to do with the creation of the earth and humankind or some shit but I dunno.
The first third…
