Review: (#1-#4) These posters all feel of the same basic artistic level with the even numbered designs looking more simplistic than the odd numbered ones. The problem is, the lack of expression makes it hard for anyone to develop interest in the film itself.

Trailer Rating: B-

Review: If ever there was an animated film that looks absolutely fascinating from an artistic perspective and dull as dishwater from a narrative perspective, it’s this film. Hopefully, the film itself is more compelling than the trailer makes it look.

Oscar Prospects:

It’s one of the contenders for Best Animated Feature and while it has a unique look, which would definitely help it in the short film category, for Animated Feature, it doesn’t look nearly as substantive as it needs to be.
