What I love about this story is that it didn't waste the viewer's time. You immediately get what's going on. Boy is planning something. They're stuck. He and the girl are obviously into each other by the primping and the emotions when they failed to be together. The goal with the diamond. The dangers, etc. I was watching with so much anticipation when he braved the dangers of crushing gears and chains. A part of me, who had watched animations for so long, knew this could end badly. But I love the bird in the end, I don't think anyone expected that.

Lyrics of this beautiful song-- Little darling can't decide which dress to wear or what to buy She's still working out when to sit stand kneel or lie And all these back and forths These tos and fros These wonder whys These sullen lows and happy highs Are marvellous to me. Little darling toss and turn She's restless in her bed at night Ruby lips and blue-green eyes They sparkle in the sunlight And all this mixing pot Of bumble bees and laugh-a-lots These whatsis and soever-whats Are wonderful to me. Oh Darling, wait little darling Little darling wakes me up To truths we see between the lines Slaps me in the face And tinkers with my little mind And there's no absolutes or arrogance or double binds No pretence that she hides behind She's marvellous to me. Little darling toss and turn She's restless in her bed at night Ruby lips and blue-green eyes They sparkle in the sunlight And all this mixing pot Of bumble bees and laugh-a-lots These whatsis and soever-whats Are wonderful to me. Little darling, wait little darling...
