Introducing the newest animators on the scene. Imaginations run wild as we watch a sacrificial sheep write a goodbye letter to his sister, as a young woman takes a long hard look at herself through a mirror of self discovery. An elderly man dances towards one last trip down memory lane, and a cowboy makes it his mission to stop robotic bison exploiting the earth.
