Beautiful--Simply Beautiful!

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2000)

This is a visually beautiful animated (clay stop motion) film. The detail the artists used in both the characters and the miniature sets is unbelievable. It is impossible to imagine the number of skilled man-hours that went into it's making.
But, more than being visually stunning, the story speaks to children with humorous eloquence, while simultaneously hooking adults with it's sophistication. I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this film.
