"It is definitely not easy for independent animation to rise amongst the economic survival worries, especially in its most challenging (but fascinating) form, that of the investigation of the human psyche. The Mew Lab work shows how persistence, experimentation and artistic goal-setting are combined to give a result that always excites the senses and the intellect."
