I'm not sure why others are so hard on this. Is it deep? No. Is it complex? Also no. It's just a cute, feel good animated short, and that's all it has to be. It's a charming little film that makes me "aww" at a husband and wife both preparing for a Valentine's day in, and the cake looks absolutely delicious.
The music choice is great, it adds to the charm and feels like a song you'd easily see in a Pixar short. The character designs are a bit flat, but given this came out 17 years ago, it's pretty well rendered for the time period. Early Pixar looked pretty rough too, and no one seems to mind.
Cute film, simple, sweet story. Pun not intended.
