This is a Korean educational short about the planets. It combines traditional animation (in the form of funny little space creatures) with computer animations derived from actual space probe photography (we get treated to fly-overs of Venus and Mars).

The space creatures are searching for a new home. As various planets of the Solar System are encountered, the outstanding features of each are discussed.

It's a curiously sedate short, with soft-spoken characters and periods of quiet. It was originally presented in IMAX format. It's available as an extra feature on the IMAX DVD "L5: First City in Space", which I highly recommend.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
