    Hello, I’m going through your 50 Greatest Cartoons feature and just listened to your segment on The Man Who Planted Trees. It’s wonderful to know that this wonderful film has moved others, and when I saw it for the first time, I had a similar reaction. You guys summed it up perfectly: humbling.
