Just a very sweet flick

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2011)

I liked it. The music was good, the story simple and subtly redemptive, the direction and animation evocative.
I loved hearing Jemaine Clement in this venue! It was like a special little "Conchords" turn, lovingly characterized, musically accompanied, and animated. And, on that topic, all the voice work was superb.
It has neither special narrative twists nor a surprising, heady denouement; everything proceeds fairly according to plan. But the depiction of the journey undertaken fairly drips with animated passion and humor, and is quite well worth seeing; perhaps even a bit moving.
