The previews were enough for me. Glad you found more there than the previews showed to me.

I guess I am an animation snob, I look first at the quality of the animation, and favor the freehand look of the hand drawn characters of my youth. The previews didn't seem to need animation for the story, so it created doubts about the entire artistic choice. The wooden animation style sealed the deal , unless someone with insight into qualities that I am missing can explain my mistake.

Better make it quick , because discount day is tomorrow, and I don't expect a long run before it gets blown off the screen.

If this movie becomes a beloved classic.. I can always tell my grandkids about how I skipped the film club screening with an interview about the film.

I thought it was clever, creative and very well done in a quirky sorta way. Simultaneously humorous and serious and portions of it may be beyond the youngest viewers. The stop-action animation was appropriate to the entire premise and also well done. A lot of things going on in the background and a curious juxtaposition of old and futuristic technology is portrayed. Interesting soundtrack too with lots of percussion. Overall, quite entertaining and recommended. If you choose to pass on your viewing let me know and I'll go see it again for you.
