Ah, what a lovely fantasy, to ride a tulip-covered rabbit on an adventure to a verdant land featuring nothing but the best nature can offer. It's magical! The description of this video says,
Based on actual events. More or less.
This lovely video very badly wants to be a Studio Ghibli film, but it's a tourism ad for Travel Oregon. Now we know why Alex moved there. I still have a sneaking suspicion that they left a few things out. The animation is from Sun Creature Studio in Denmark and Psyop in Los Angeles, with music by the Oregon Symphony. -via Boing Boing
PS: Matt 252 found the real-life landscapes that are illustrated in the video. See them side-by-side here.
I made a side-by-side shot from the video of each of those real places. Judge for yourself how 'exaggerated' they are. :)

One year later, I stopped telling other people how beautiful Oregon is, because they kept moving here ;)
