my rating: Two worlds out of one.

what possessed me: It’s apparently Dakota Fanning week, I received a rare invitation, and there’s pretty much no way I’d miss this movie barring some catastrophic cerebral event.

what i learned: The line between appreciating what you have and not being willing to settle for too little is constantly blurred, and mind-blowing animation bridges cultural gaps. Also, I dress like an irritating dork.

you may also enjoy: The Brothers Quay, some early Tool videos, Jhonen Vasquez, MirrorMask, Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi, Tonari no Totoro, The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, and using your imagination.

tangential thought: I grudgingly admit that stop motion animation can still be better than CGI. But 3D technology allows me to maintain that progress and advancement is indispensable, you fucking hipster Luddites.
