Layers and layers of meaning - take as much as you want out of this film

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2016)

I don't usually watch animated movies and only discovered this as it was on the top 250 of IMDb. This movie is rich in meaning and you can find what you want out of it. If you have any inquisitiveness into the deeper side of life and what could be, then view this film through the lens of allegories and metaphors and it comes alive. No cheesy jokes or Americanisms to dumb down the film. Loved it and could watch it again, putting it up as an above 8 movie for me. What makes it different is the adventurousness of life and overcoming challenges and the journeys that can be found within this. I loved the turning into the pig scene and the chasing gold for golds sake. Animation has a special ability to take these concepts and present them in fairy tale manner. Thoroughly enjoyed the film
