TISSUES!! I NEED TISSUES!!!

Rating: Null/10 (2 October 2004)

I had heard, from viewing the page on the IMDb for this movie, that this was something special, but I never got round to actually seeing it. Thus, when I found it being shown on TV, I didn't hesitate and got settled in. Being 22 I thought this would be too kiddy-like for me, what with being a Western cel-animated film. On the contrary, I think that my age (22) let me appreciate this film more than what I would have when I was 17 when it came out.
This film entertains on all levels, whether you're a grown up or a kid or a grown up kid. It's not dumbed down for anyone, it's quite smart and truly heartwarming and emotional. Not to mention cool, especially when......ahhh, no spoilers here, just go see it yourself.
I think this film also has a moral message at it's core, that of trying to understand things that we don't, rather than taking drastic action from being afraid. The message is really only apparent towards the end, but I think it's definitely there.
In short, see this movie. Make sure you are have tissues handy though!
