Cave Alone

This is an extremely entertaining, and well made animated film, that is easy to like. Unlike some other modern animated pictures, this film doesn't feel made in a cynical attempt to pander to a demographic. The characters are fun and are sure to be likable to families, but it doesn't feel like it is because of any kind of pandering. Instead it feels extremely earnest. The film's sense of humor will likely land a hit, because there are are so many styles of jokes in the film, reflective of its unique and high effort animated style. The film had a few moments of crude humor (although it was far more brief, and bearable than one has come to expect from a modern animated movie, or family film) and if anything, I find it something that adds to the film's charm, of being true to itself. This movie is heartfelt, and completely honest about being itself: it also parallels the character's own desires to be loved and understood, when even the film itself seems to be putting itself out there in a way that makes it difficult not to love.
