The defining quote (for me) from this episode resonated at 6:54 "(at any moment in time) I give permission to myself and to any member of the team to change the ideas and to change the project- as they go".

Personally (for me at least) this is hard to swallow. Since we are ever learning and will not always meet our wants

I hope that others can also find their inspiring moment that this asks and gives tools to explore what can be our future.

Moments are the confluence of our sole and what inspires us to move forward which may be merely a perceived mark in our timeline. Our, because it is ours .

This show introduced me to transcendentalism and Thoreau, if only for his writing on Waldo pond. But I can and have related to his quote without knowing " You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."

I found so many examples in this episode of how one can think outside a box, some might say sacrifice something to give more and be effective in a team - learning from bees and nature as an example and blending with art and what nature makes beautiful to us.

The soundtrack is a hidden gem of fantasy and fairy tale imbedded in a blues colored aura of music and eye candy cast in a stark set lighting of white light to materialize its contrast with a fatalistic u reality that the box office wasn't ready for. The only thing that could have set this over the cliff between into let success and a wanting to see more would have been longer Kubrick widde shots that I find tragelically missing from the otherwise perfectly long and delicately placed baritones.

This is a movie that grows on me. When first getting a copy, made little mark, but after my 3 yr old daughter started requested this repeatedly several times a day, I've found the songs and animation to have grown on me. It has much of the enchantment and dreamy themes that Disney studios seem only to accomplish during those revitalized golden years of early 90's at Disney. But I trust my daughter's taste, and I have a new found love now in this 10 year old hidden treasure myself.

Jodi Benson has a beautiful voice and it may be this is on of the leading attributes that captures attention the same way her Mermaid performance as Ariel has done.

I believe the test of a good film, is one that captures year heart and you can call you're own, and this one has found a way to do that.
