In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. This is a monumental masterpiece. It’s truly a game changer for the animation world. Never in my 13 years of being a Cinematic critic have I seen a story so extravagant, adventuresome, and most importantly authentic. Let me tell you those bigger animation companies need to take notes on the gifted individual who made this. I was moved by not only the next level realistic quality animation, but the heart felt journey, the ambiguous yet exemplary score, and the connectable characters. The story does what a true masterpiece gifts you, a new view of life. It was a sheer and utter pure experience. I really felt like I was in the story and after the film had finished it took me 2 minutes to find the words to express how I felt. I just sat there and contemplated what I had witnessed. If you want to elevate your quality of life, this movie is for you. Thank you for this tale. I will be returning to Marcelle’s soon, hungry for more.
