Different kind of animated short film here

The title says it all 'The Day is Listening' because your thoughts are heard. Poetry, most often misunderstood unless one can find a way to pick it apart. I was never all that good at it. But the synopsis of this short animated film really tells us what it's all about. It's quite deep and I typically like deeper subjects of conversation that can stimulate my senses. I like poetry a lot, but it is better for me when hearing it as opposed to reading it myself. And then putting a picture along with the idea of the spoken poetry from a Canadian Poet in an animated film, good job!
