All the imaginary creatures a young person could want to make apartment life more pleasant.

Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Pro: Mildly amusing at first. It's really about the different kinds of people who need different sorts of help, of course.

Con: It gets dull fast. There is no story and no characters.

  1. A series of cute vignettes about cute animals dwellers, perhaps this is too metaphorical for me, but I don’t get much sense out of this story 🀷‍♂️
