I get the metaphor, but these birds look so ugly.

I have the same impression as well.

The problem with their landing page is the characters have way too much detail (& distracting), and it really detracts away the overall message they are conveying

Ugly in "style" or ugly in appearance?

It might be the animation style, though it's not that different from Bojack Horseman, which I like a lot.

Maybe it's the pose of the characters. For example, the hand wave of the white ladybird feels unnatural, somehow.

For what it's worth, I disagree with lima. I love them.

Congrats on the launch by the way! Much needed product.
