Quote:
"While it is evident Wieland and Ferguson had fun juxtaposing footage of the original film with incongruous clips from their heterogenous collection of other found sources, they also used those clips to play a game of perception by repeatedly interrupting the original film's narrative unity and challenging its uplifting message about discovering the ordinary wonders of a springtime world."
-- William C. Wees
