What Took You So Long? is a 360 animated short created by faculty and students at the College of Media and Entertainment at the Middle Tennessee State University. The goal of the project is to tell a story of wonder, discovery, and appreciation for our planet from the honest perspective of a young child. In the story, a child discovers the magical things that we take for granted and shows us the planet’s simple beauty.
