The heartful expression of this magnetic animated short comes sheathed not entirely with a bravely counter-capitalist bent but furthermore a strain of moral, ethical expression that kids of past and present can learn from. Though not especially funny, Nelly's Folly flaunts the same colourful design as would be replicated by 2009's Up without occupying that film's inexcusable social grey area. It's simply superior.

Too many moralizing remarks for my taste.
