Nearly perfect animated film

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2000)

This is a great film on several points. FOr one, there are no pointless musical numbers. For some reason, American production companies feel that all animated films must have musical numbers. This film thankfully has none.
Don't read further as the next comment is a possible spoiler:
I would have given this movie a 10 had it not been for the cop-out re-assembly ending. This would seem to be the only concession to the "mass market" in this film.
