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
- Aimed squarely at anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 11 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Pioneer of silhouette animation, Lotte Reiniger, uses this technique in a retelling of the Greek legend in which the sculptor, Pygmalion, brings a statue to life.
