A truly staggering achievement in stop-motion animation that tells a rich fantasy story with teeth.
In the middle of a gorgeously crafted sequence introducing us to the film’s Portland setting, the camera briefly hones in on a local artisan’s posted sign. It says something like: “Support handmade art while you still can.”
That sentiment made me particularly emotional because this is a handmade piece of art I couldn’t take my eyes off of. It’s the kind of thing you wonder if we’ll ever see again just because of all that was required to breathe life into it.
