Reviews
"Hilligoss creates animation that not only appeals to children but strives to make interactions between the nature characters and the humans as educationally entertaining as possible...This film is perfect for young children because Hilligoss illustrates without any dialogue and his animation technique is colorful and captivating." East Lansing Children's Film Festival
"A pungent version of the complaint 'Waiter, there is a fly in my soup.'" The (Melbourne) Age
