technically and thematically superior to any Disney film

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2002)

Rich colours, a beautiful and wide variety of scenery, interesting species and individuals -- as a spectacle this movie lacks nothing. And its intriguing storyline and ambiguous moral message make it more challenging than most other mass-market films. A stirring soundtrack completes the package to make this the only movie so far I've given a perfect 10.
