This picture is incredible made in the silence of dreams it captures your imagination with a force of the human spirit. Its a story about man and his search for the power from within to create world as a masterpiece of expression and curious moment's being open to hearing the secret's of the nature of the wild world that can be governed by the divine presence one gives to one self. Traveling into the pain of being. Simply existing as a human in the front of a world that isn't willing nor able to save or heal you from anything.

I rented this for a plane ride a month or so ago and I'm going to start out by saying that this movie is BEAUTIFULLY animated. It is like watching a piece of art! The water and the color green both stand out and look amazing. In fact in the looks department I would give this a 5/5!! I did give the movie 4 stars however because it does get a little boring. The story is not explained very much (In fact there is almost no dialog) so the viewer has to try and figure things out but I just never got interested enough to care. If you are an adult and things like this interest you then this might be worth checking out but take note in a movie like this a kid would just get bored and fall asleep fall asleep.

I don't get emotional when watching movies anymore, especially animated ones. But this one .. it's just such a beautiful piece of storytelling. Beautiful animation, a magical story.. from beginning to end a pleasure to watch; all without a single word ! So glad I watched this, it left me feeling inspired, melancholy for both parts of life I've already lived and perhaps for what's to come.. treat for your kids or your inner kid :)
