Very beautiful movie, both in its animation and storytelling. I honestly think the sound design is the winner here, it’s a highly sensorial nature experience, I personally played the movie through the soundbar but I’d imagine headphones or surround sound would be even better. The animals’ physical mannerisms were captured perfectly, and I love that they retained their natural characteristics while displaying human tendencies which is subtly and seamlessly blended in. I found the whole movie to be like a dream, because when you wake up from one, you don’t fully understand it, you can’t grasp the complete meaning but you’ve been deeply effected by the mystery of it all. I was transfixed throughout the entire journey, which was mixed with both engaging drama and ethereal serene moments. All the animal interactions are peculiarly interesting and have something to teach us about ourselves. Most of us crave a straightforward message, but here there’s various metaphorical interpretations to make. While each member of the audience takes their own lessons from this film, they will do it with their hearts full after experiencing this beautiful and terrifying journey. Also I’m now definitely adding capybaras to my list of spirit animals.
