Madama Butterfly Animation Interpretation

First off, the use of barbies immediately grabbed my attention because I thought the video was going to be a parody joke, but the film was actually produced well with a nearly accurate plot and great graphics.
The movie begins with the Japanese woman, who we know from the actually opera is a prostitute, with a butterfly on her head to symbolize the story to come. The captain comes into the picture and the two lay together. The woman falls deeply in love with him but shortly he leaves, but with a promising end note, leaving his hat on her head. As far as we know, he does not ask her to wait, but day after day she stands where he left her, committed to the idea of his return. Her belly soon grows with his child while we listen to opera music floating out of the player beside her. Instead of a real birth, a fishbowl and fish are used to represent the fetus growing inside her, and her water breaking is the fishbowl cracking. When her daughter is born, she seems to be the only joy the woman has. The child must be a comfort because she was made from the woman's lover, so the woman loves and clings tightly to her.
Then, just as it appeared he wasn't going to return, the music changed and we hear a ship's horn blowing from the distance. It's the captain and his ship! The Japanese woman puts a flower veil on top of her head and climbs to the exact spot where he left, but with their daughter. When the captain pulls up in his car, he is not alone. While gone he has found himself a new woman, and they have a car full of children. Of course in the animation, the new woman is a 'stunning' blonde barbie that matches the Ken doll exactly. The captain takes away the Japanese daughter and places her into the car with his new woman. The Japanese woman is horrified and cannot bear a second of the pain, running away to end her life. In the opera, she takes a sword and plunges it into her abdomen. In the animation, she peels off her skin, revealing a mechanical figure which she disassembles with what looks like a screwdriver or other tool of some sort.
I found the animation to be a great way to summarize the opera in just 10 minutes and would recommend it to anyone with limited time wanting a taste of the real thing.
