Review: (#1) A symbolic design that balances color and imagery well. (#2) Another fine use of color, this design is a little more staid, but no less beautiful.

Trailer Rating: B- / B

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1) The first, short trailer makes an interesting case for time and place, but not as much on premise.

(#2) The second does a much better job presenting the story with interesting detail and plenty of beauty.

Oscar Prospects:

This is the kind of animated feature that surprises and picks up an Animated Feature nomination, possibly even competes for a Best International Feature nomination.
