THOUGHTS
Exquisite animation. The simple, but realistically animated line drawings provide the action and contrast with gorgeously painted and textured backdrops. Every scene was a total visual pleasure.
The minimal plot was made more profound by the subtle touch of magic embodied by the title character.
A beautiful film that elevates a simple tale to something as grand and mysterious as life itself.
