This is a great movie about two characters finding themselves and their way in a torn world. The 2 main characters are from different fractions that don't get along: one side is the organic, natural character while the other side embraced technology. Kevin Hanna created a magical world full of creatures, magic, and neat technology that is well represented in the movie. The voice acting fits with each character but some of the music choices could have been better (something that could have been out of his control). If you enjoyed the Clockwork Girl comic series, you will enjoy this movie. It's a movie the whole family can watch and learn from.
Where did this movie come from? I hadn't heard of it until I caught it on cable.
With it's cheap looking lighting and awful pop songs, it's obviously an independent with a tiny budget. I was initially turned off, but once it gets rolling, with it's great animation/performance and an amazingly strange steam-punk world, I was sucked in.
It reminds me of fantasy the films of Jim Henson (like Dark Crystal), Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland) or Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away).
It's a movie with a lot of heart, a lot of life, and one I can watch over and over.
I'm looking forward to seeing what this studio and filmmaker do next.
