Just got out... It makes an interesting bookend with Spirited Away, lost parents, a journey through the spirit world, an interesting mix of both Western and Eastern archetypes.
+1 - will watch again!
Haven't seen the movie but if you told me the trailer was an AI recreation of Spirited Away I would have believed it.
I'd definitely recommend seeing it. It's really nothing like Spirited Away outside of both having a kid going into another world. The themes have some crossover but are not really the same.
Ok cool! I was looking forward to it anyhow, the animation quality alone looks amazing.
It truly is. Smoother animation and so much detail.
