A masterpiece of cinema

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2010)

I will openly admit that this movie made me cry. It is the only movie to have ever done so, animated or not. Now, that in itself is of some merit, but the emotional impact is not the only great attribute of this film. Indeed, the film boasts the ability to make the viewer think. Yes, think about the world in which he or she lives.
This film, in short, makes the viewer connect with the characters. You care deeply about them. Despite already knowing the outcome, the viewer will have a semblance of hope about their fates.
The animation is beautiful, especially for its time. One should never disregard this film simply because it's animated; this film delivers, unlike many others.
