Hedgehog in the Fog vs. Tale of Tales

For me personally the Hedgehog in the Fog was more entertaining than Tale of Tales. I was trying to my best ability to enjoy the artwork of Tale of Tales, but it would not affect me like the art in Hedgehog in the Fog. I could not get over the fact that I couldn't understand the story. I don't know if there is a story that i'm missing or if the writer made it so vague but it work for me. Hedgehog in the Fog on the other hand was some the most beautiful animation I have seen in my life. The storyline in HITF let me be fully invested into the film but I was pulled out constantly from TOT.

Another aspect of the two films that separated them in my mind was beauty. HITF had cute of beautiful characters  that made me feel good. But, TOT's characters had a certain dark aspect (Just look into the wolf's eyes) that made me feel uncomfortable and slightly sick. I think the most surprising difference between the two films was, even though I liked HITF more I remembered TOT and was affected by TOT the most. TOT affected me like a drug, I was not the same as I entered the class when I left. I felt different.
