Watched this tonight. Excellent movie and superb artwork.

Being a kid movie, the plot is a bit predictable, but it is a good story and it's one of the most visually stunning movies I have ever seen. The music is great, too.

The fact that it is stop motion blows my mind.

I always wondered if it was any good. Ads looked creepy, and it went to DVD so fast one could almost think it was straight-to-DVD. I even saw it bundled with other cartoon DVDs at Wallymart; a way to get rid of unwanted films that people won't buy otherwise. . .

I think that Americans just aren't ready for Japanese cartoons. Wink

It's stop motion and it was made by a US company in the US with an American director and a soundtrack done by an Italian.
