I think my main gripe about the film boils down to one of emphasis. I was much more interested in the story *behind* the setting--the backstory of the Machine and the scientist, how the scientist created the dolls, exactly how the setting's magic-tech works--than in the more immediate story that was happening right in front of me. I didn't care much whether the dolls defeated the Machine or whether their souls were liberated. It's the kind of world that would make a *great* open-ended, quasi-RPG adventure game.

Did you watch the short? I would like to know if your opinion differed between the two. I feel like the story had so much potential. This time we agree. Did you watch the short?
