I will never not be mad at the distribution bungling that saw this film’s nomination go out with a whimper

I was in this movie for the vibes, and I had so much fun.

Warts and all aside, it’s a fascinating feature that’s unlike anything Disney makes anymore

While it’s not something that’s going to blow your mind, I enjoyed the comfort that a classic Disney offering provided. 

As much as I love delving into arthouse animation, there’s something fun about a less serious entry every once in a while.

The Deer’s Bell is notable for a number of different reasons, from its art style to its celebration of culture

When the Wind Blows is a harrowing snapshot from history

The patently ridiculous animation fits perfectly with the tone of the movie overall and made this an experience I had a lot of fun with. 

The style nails the idea of bringing a comic book to life

if you enjoyed the jazz-soaked stories that are La La Land, Whiplash, or Soul, this hidden gem might just be your tempo. 

Nocturna’s charm, which it builds through its design and world building, goes a long way

It’s a fascinating example of collaboration in the truest sense
