Not what you'll expect

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2014)

I'm not gonna lie, I watched this because it's in the Top 250 more than anything else, but then upon realising it had the vocal work of the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman, I got to it with excitement rather than trepidation.
This is a beautiful story which is warm and loving despite being mainly black, white and brown.
It's a story of loneliness, depression and anxiety, but made me laugh more than I expected and almost brought a tear to my eye.
Anyone expecting a Burton-esque animation will be left disappointed, but as I despise Burton I was pleasantly surprised.
Well worth a watch. 8/10
