Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for music lovers and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 39 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

The Mind's Eye is a compilation of experimental computer animations from when such technology was in its early infancy. The animations are from various studios, having been arranged in a sort of "2001" evolution-timeline theme, and set to synthesized music. These pioneering CGI projects later gave rise to films such as Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Antz, and Shrek.
