Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes a world with its own rules and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 5 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Ancestors is a film about spiritual forefathers and mothers in a purely fanciful sense. These are classical figures, anatomical figures, fairy tale figures and romantic figures all thrown in together - all my creative root-sources, in a kind of playful tribute. Like part 2 of Duo Concertantes, it's a moving single picture, now doubled.
