It's a sad piece imho. The artist uses the word "abandoned" in the title which sets us up for a feeling of loss. You use the word "discarded" in your recollection of it which has a completely different connotation than "abandoned". "Discarded" has a sense of finality, which would make the reanimation a sort of rebirth. "Abandoned" makes me think the doll is there, pointlessly moving in space waiting to be reclaimed by it's lost owner. Sad. Sad and really beautiful.
