Best American animation I've ever seen

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 1999)

This is probably, bar none, the single best film I've seen all year. I'm going to be one of the ones who has advance-ordering on it for video. It's that good.
They do a great job of drawing you into the story... the characters are all incredibly consistent, and the robot is gorgeous, both as art and as a character. (And I /loved/ the tip of the hat to "Giant Robo"!)
I was just saying on Tuesday - having never heard of this movie - that I wished they'd release "Giant Robo" on the American silver screen. This is close enough for me. :)
