Ratings and reviews

While the visuals are stunning and aesthetically pleasing, I found the storyline and some of the characters to be boring and unlikeable. I also found it quite confusing and somewhat distressing with the thematical elements along with the brief violence and peril that the characters endure. Also, at the end of the film, you understand why the film is rated PG-13. Parents, there's a reason this film is rated PG-13 so be warned!

Fantastical, magical, beautiful, epic.and philosophical. My only frustration being it's little heavy on the sentiment at time, dragging it out. But overall delightful.

Beautiful story, animation and creativity. I cried a lot during this movie. This is great learning experience for HSK3+ students.
