Analysis: The Fantastic Theory

This movie falls into the category of  The Marvelous specifically, Pure Marvelous. Most scenes from the movie convey a message that what we are looking at were supernatural things and magical. There were no concrete explanations as to why these so called "leafmen" exist. It can also be consider as science fiction because the characters in the movie resembles the physical attributes of a real person, their characteristics and their way of living ,only that they are far smaller. It look like another sick scientific discovery similar to the idea of the "bonsai" in plants, just another smaller version of a particular specie.

The famous quote from the movie, "Not because we cannot see them necessarily mean they don't exist" explains the imaginary world that is separate from the world that we are living. It implies that in real life, maybe they do really exist, only that we are unaware of their existence.
