Animation quality very typical cheaply mass produced, nothing special, flat, 2-D, non-moving backgrounds. Foreground central characters also flat, lacking detail, movements very typical almost mechanical.
Usual odd characters with magical associates, usually animal or spirit, but in this case a miniature boy, and interacting with humans.
Usual another dimensional world needing human help to save it. In this case we have a couple of steampunk baddies out to steal a precious resource - water. Usual prince & pretty girl hooks.
Storyline lacked flow with a few incomprehensibls (sp).
