Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

good animation. or religious film. original characters. and seductive lesson about art. it has different sides. but it remains a beautiful show. not only for the wonderful art, for the wise mixture of love, tension, mystery and crumbs of history, for references to literature and history, for the final meeting or for the status of parable. but for its admirable manner to translate emotions and realities and desires. for the game of events and for the need of certitude of characters. for idealism. and for the grace of details. a film who remains different. for the science to explore old things in the inspired light. nothing more. only a story, a trip and a revelation. few characters. and the questions. short, one of stories who remains seductive for the art to reuse old problems in the right style.

This movie will feed the imagination and nourish the soul. It is powerful, poignant & deep, your imagination will enjoy it.The French use less words in comparison to English. Oddly some depth and compelling significance gets lost when translated from French to English. The French have an amazing way of expressing themselves, always have. From their artist to their philosophers they have always been able to say and express deep and meaningful compassion with fewer words. A fascinating plus about this story is, it can be watched with no sound at all. Your imagination gets the message through and is profound to the minds eye. The art is raw and honest. Beautiful film.

Imaginative Inspiring Adventurous Iridescent Surprising Dreamlike This story is already good enough on the first phase, but the creators took it up to many levels beyond that. It is so imaginative that you can't believe it. It's so extraordinary that you will be overwhelmed.It's a bit like when I was watching the Japanese movie Spirited Away. These are really rare great stuff.Also, it's about equality. It even makes you want to make some art pieces with paint right away. You never know what to expect. You will always be shocked and it put a smile on your face.Watch it!!! You will be kicking yourself if you miss it.

Fantastic visuals, simply riveting with a perfectly executed structure. However, in my opinion it never reached it's full potential because it was held back. The film possessed a wonderful world without really exploring and explaining it in full detail, perhaps the director was not daring enough to go above and beyond in terms of the story line. Once the story was introduced, it struggled to maintain it's structural appeal. Though it contained a sensationally unique and stylistic appeal captivating the general audience. Despite the simple story it is a work bursting with imagination whether it be in art direction or its dazzling picture-hopping set piece.
