Thank you. Brilliant. Majestic. Heartbreaking.
Now what in fuck's name makes me anthropomorphize a semicircle surmounted by an isosceles triangle?

What a lovely animation. Incidentally, the original of the song in the trailer is a Brazilian song called O Barquinho, which has been performed by countless Brazilian artists. Some faves: Elis Regina, Wanda Sa & Roberto Menescal and Pery Ribeiro.

Very nice. Makes me think of the Ship of Theseus.

In a little rowboat to find you
and you said you had to get your laundry clean

This reminds me of a little boat that I once adopted. I liked it.

Well, the first fourteen or so of mine, anyway.

First fourteen years or so, that is. Gawd. It's been a rough day.
