人間が演じるより雄弁に、表情とその奥にある感情をきちんと描き出していて、しかも自然でかわいい。こういう場面、現実でもあるなあ、と思わせてくれる。

短いながらも前後の出来事を色々と想像してしまうお話ですね。謝るシロクマの宙に浮いた感じとペンギンの少し憤懣とした態度もよく伝わってとても面白いです。

I like this. So lovely! They are not good at expressing their feelings but understand each other. It's just like a real English couple!!

声優さんの演技がすごく人間ぽいのに、話題も終始シロクマとペンギンなのが可笑しくてかわいい。
