Those looking for a more faithful adaptation of Flatland will probably be disappointed by this short, since this is basically a "Disneyfied" version: As such, the satirical elements of the plot are toned down, more humor is added, and the ending is much happier than the one from the book, among other things.
Personally I think it was a decent attempt to modernize the story, though I have to wonder if kids might find it a little bit heavy handed (Despite the added humor).
The animation is okay. Not incredible, but serviceable. The CGI might not be the greatest, but there are some creative visuals depicting the three-dimensional plane.
Now, if you want an animation closer to the book, watch the 1965 short starring Dudley Moore, which does a pretty good job condensing the plot into eleven minutes.
