Hmmm...lots of reviews have been gushing about this movie, and to be honest when I saw the trailer a while back, I was seduced by the animation and style. When I finally watched it, I realised that's all it has going for it: style. I loved the animation and the music, but I just couldn't get into it, the story just wasn't engaging; I actually had to skip - I rented it on DVD (just as well I did and didn't buy it or something) - to the end. It's not that I didn't understand it or anything, I completely felt the emotions coming through, but I just couldn't understand why a story such as this one has to be told through animation? I think that's my biggest gripe.
