Plot
A man moves from one dream to another, meeting various interesting people and having surreal experiences. He tries to find the answers to life's important questions.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The film itself made this live-action with adding the visual 2D/CGI animation telltale effect, looks incredibly spectacular, with great use of color and even several different styles blended with spectacular results. So, the idea of having a live-action turned into an animation-style theme effect is incredibly original, since nobody had done it for years before this film.
 * 2) *On the topic, due to how well the animation can be, especially with the telltale animation theme, the animation itself was also used in future games in [[mh:awesomegames:The Walking Dead: The Game}}, and the artworks of [[mh:awesomegames:Grand Theft Auto V}}.
