Beautiful children's film
2 August 2014
I picked this out for myself to watch, thinking it would be too "artsy" for my four year old, but she was immediately captivated and plunked down on my lap to watch the whole thing. I was quite surprised at this since she is usually a fan of the Disney princess-genre, ha ha. It is a visually striking art film, and some of the stories have a couple of scary moments or themes for a little one, but we appreciated the simple stories that were told in a unique style of animation. The shadow-box-puppet style with only eyes highlighted on the characters actually fit the fairy-tale type tales very suitably, with a moral to the story, or a twist at the end, so don't expect Shakespeare level - it really is intended for children. We will likely watch this again and again.
