    The animation is great, but it is the calm foreboding of the script and music I most liked. The voices, too, were wonderful, particularly the hitchhiker's. Because the ending was obvious nearly from the start, the in-car claims of the hitchhiker weren't as intriguing as they might have been--I would have liked the writers to be a bit more creative in that single aspect.
