The animation is really well done, and the drawings are cute and detailed.
I always assumed the song, “My Mother” had a deeper meaning to it, like listen to the song with the understanding we do not know anything about where the girls live or where their parents are.
I’ve had “Off to See the World” stuck in my head for better part of almost 20 years now.
