I really liked how they showed the name of the staffs in the begining. It was really interesting.
The film started by showing a boy collecting bottle caps. I could not have imagined what the story be like then.
I think the "thing" is symbolizing things which human beings have forgot about as the time passes. Even the giant red thing was at the beach, at the sidewalk, nobody noticed it's presence except the boy; people are so busy living their own lives.
The meaning of the "thing" being lost is very hard to say...
Well, I guess it is showing people's minds; we, humans tend to forget memories although it meant really special to us at the time.
The world of lost things seemed very happy and peaceful comparing to the world which the boy was living (: it seemed busy, boring world). The film may telling us how wonderful to keep our lives like human beings.
The film was interesting, but was hard to make it into my words to describe.
