In the year 2142, the Earth's ecosystem has finally given over to overbearing levels of pollution. The popular masses live in a dark and dingy world under perpetually grey skies while a select few live in a beautiful city called Ecoban. The city's elite enjoy relative comfort in a environment that is fueled by carbon pollution and generates even more waste matter. When Ecoban security officer Jay discovers her leaders plotting an evil scheme, she begins to doubt her place in it. Meanwhile, her childhood friend Shua is leading a secret rebellion of the masses. He is helped by Dr. Noah, a scientist who originally designed the city. They plan a major attack on Ecoban's power grid, the Delos System. Wonderful Days was shown at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival and the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News
A gorgeous work of animation, juxtaposing photo-realistic backgrounds with surrealistic images and actions. It rewards the effort of seeing it on the big screen.
-
Michael Booth, Denver Post
The writers leave us little to think about after they've created such blunt stereotypes of the bad and the good.
-
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Great to look at, but it's more silly than profound.
-
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
It's a handsome thing, familiar and new at once, thoroughly entertaining if hardly memorable.
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
The more traditionally drawn 2-D human characters are as flat, in every sense of the word, as can be.
