So I didn’t hear about this movie until I heard Marc Bernadin talk about it on fatman beyond the other day He’s Kevin Smith’s co-host but as much as I like Kevin. I respect Marc and his taste in movies and he said it’s one of the most beautiful films he’s watched.

I’ve seen no advertisements, trailers etc didn’t even know it existed. And while I won’t be able to make a theater that has it playing I definitely plan on buying this at full price after watching the trailer. I usually hate stop motion but you can’t bitch about AI and then not support a project that’s been in the works for 16 years.

It deserves to be doing soooo much better in the box office. Really well done movie and amazing animation. If this doesn’t get best animated picture I’ll be very upset, although it looks like there are some tough contenders for this year.

It’s got some of the best animation I’ve ever seen.

Also, I didn’t know that Colin Meloy from The Decemberists wrote it until I saw the end credits.
