This animated short presents five characters from different parts of the world who each represent an element (fire, water, etc.) that come together to rejuvenate the planet (essentially bring on springtime).
The film was commissioned by the Olympic Foundation of Culture to commemorate the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, so it contains no spoken dialogue (presumably to make it internationally accessible), and has elements of 'sport' with the characters; swimming, sprinting, high-jumping, etc. As they travel.
The themes of the film align to the Olympic 'values' of teamwork, friendly competition, international relationships, etc. But it does come across as well worn territory for children's animation (Avatar: The Last Airbender at best, Captain Planet at worst).
Still, it looks good (created by several former Studio Ghibli animators), and moves briskly. Cute little short.
