Date: 01/12/2023

An animated version of Anne Frank's famous diaries that makes her story easily accessible for a new generation without losing the power of the original text.(...) Most moving is Anne's internal life, her reaction to their persecution, and subsequent life of total isolation, silence, terror and ultimately the positive and humanitarian attitude she is able to maintain. Complemented by cutting edge animation, the film's most significant success is its ability to use the diary entries to create an Anne Frank who is compelling and endearing without being maudlin. "

Yoshua Ford, Washington Film Festival

" Animated "ANNE FRANK" retells story superbly". The movie is an achievement on several levels. Its aesthetic scheme is simple and unadorned enough to remind us that is a story of ordinary people thrust in into extraordinary circumstances, yet it's also gorgeous enough to carry us through its feature length. Its slab of colors and simple but inviting composition suggest paintings of Edward Hopper." Betsy Sherman,

BOSTON GLOBE

"This animated feature will undoubtedly remain the most beautiful adaptation of the most widely read work in the world.
The city of Amsterdam is depicted very realistically sometimes making viewers think they are really there.  The violin music moves our souls with its nostalgic air.  The constantly latent emotion grows within us.  Like the Diary, the movie ends when the attic occupants are arrested and the few lines that appear thereafter bring tears to our eyes and make us say: “Never again!”. "

YAHOO FRANCE

"By adapting the Diary of Anne Frank in animated form, you have proven your great talent for teaching by successfully producing strong and moving animated images.
I am convinced your movie will not only contribute to making the Diary of Anne Frank better known but it will also spur the awareness of young people and adults, and send a universal message of respect for human beings."

EUROPEAN JEWISH CONGRESS

"The animation is superb, the settings exquisite. It is true to life. The director documented his research, worked on the basis of photographs.  It is a true setting of the time.  It made me want to go to Amsterdam.  The tone of the Diary isn’t hopeless.  Anne Frank is neither a view of the camps or of destruction.  We know the family will die so there is great underlying emotion as we watch but the dialogue is full of humanity.
