MCT:March 1, 2008Ocelot's most visually sumptuous, but weakest in terms of story - for the most part, it is merely a sideshow of one stunningly beautiful background painting after another - and not up there with Princes et princesses in any other respect. It does, however, stand head and shoulders above other CGI animation - or rather, it doesn't stand in the same place at all. The characters feel real, rather than look real, and are particularly superb at expressing non-verbal communication through their facial moments. There is much more dialogue than there needs to be in some scenes, because so much is already told through this non-verbal communication. The excellent comic timing also deserves a mention, as does the subtly spiking wit with which it attacks not so much racism in particular, but all kinds of superstitious and presumptive misconceptions - not by telling the viewer what to do, but by showing through example how people might come to think that way or not. My main wish is that these techniques could have been used to tell as engaging a story as other Ocelot films, but perhaps this is because I had looked at so many reviews and stills that I knew the whole film before seeing it. I would still urge eveyone to go out and see it if it is showing anywhere near them, but I would recommend not seeing any trailers or summaries of the story beforehand.

MCT:August 20, 2007Not only is this brilliant and fun animation, this was also one of the more ingenuous of storylines, never pushing it, but we sense a lot of talk on race, religion, culture and I found the animation, a potpourri of mythology and fairytale just fascinating, old-fashioned and effectively vibrant usage of colours really made it going further.

One of my favorite animations. It shows how love, dreams and determination to follow them can help people cross the countries borders and overcome the cultural and social differences.
