Mark Twain once said, “there is no such thing as a new idea.” That anything original by today’s standard is more of the right combination of pre-existing ideas.

This is the direction that I had presumed that Giraffe and Annika are going for. I was wrong, dead wrong. Either that or something went off the rail so much that it strayed from the original intent. Giraffe and Annika, despite its effort to give a cute and soothing experience, comes off as frustrating due to the unsuccessful mash-up of genres or lack-thereof further weighted down by many rough edges of unpolishedness.
