I liked it a lot. But not the first time. A week after turning it off about 15 minutes in, I gave it another chance. Glad I did.
It's animated (mostly
). I remember an episode of Bugs Bunny where suddenly, in the middle of an animated cartoon, Bugs found himself in live video, a WWII battle zone, with jeeps and GI's. That was a long time ago when computer generated stuff did not exist. It sorta blew my mind. This movie does that.
Without giving away late plotpoints, it's a sorta dumb social statement about people being different, acceptance, yada yada, all the players are in a painting. I thought I was suffering through Frozen at first (I never finished Frozen - I don't want to build a snowman apparently). But about half way through, things get surreal, and by the end some existential ideas get examined. I TOTALLY didn't see that coming.
Probably not a movie for all, but it left me staring at the dark TV for a while, which is why I'm posting now. I had the DVD from netflix, so I want back and watched the artist "making of" and that was very interesting also, surprisingly.
Good for all ages. Might be a good one to watch with kids as it will draw them in with the animation and angst, and finish with some questions about mature topics that they will need to tackle eventually.
