Trailer Time: Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet

I'm willing to give this animation the benefit of the doubt, but I can't say that I was amazed by it. Perhaps because I'm unfamiliar with Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet in book form, I'm just not as excited. And as much as I hate to bash on any type of animation, I'm really not falling in love with the style here and the variations that they show in the trailer. It tends to be the stuff I avoid in animation, but again, I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. What are your thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9dY5zkwK5M

Inspired by the classic book by Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet is an animated feature film written and directed by Roger Allers (The Lion King), with animated “chapters” from award-winning animation directors from around the world, and featuring world-class musicians, singers, and composers.
