Identify - Entropy

This is a 2D hand drawn animation made by Rhubarb Zoo released in 2008. The story is about a young girl in what i assume is a post-apocalyptic world, so a world of entropy, and she's listening to a fuzzy radio, disappointed in the sound playing she hears a song playing in the distance so, curious she goes to find the source which leads her to the moon where she meets a man playing a strange instrument which appears to be made of bubbles and stars. The girl interrupts his playing to join him and as they play together the man slowly fades away and the girl awakes where she began in her post-apocolyptic world but with the song they made together instead of the fuzzy radio.

I find it incredibly appealing, aesthetically, because it was done in 2D and it looks so smooth and fluid and the motion feels so natural. The design of the world the world lives in looks tragic and even the moon looks like a disaster but it works so well with the entropic world presented to us, where the world we live on is brown and dark while the moon, also a disaster space is much brighter and appealing but still feels sinister because of the shapes making up the objects and moon itself.
