Reviews

Boxoffice Magazine -
The exquisite art and fairytale ambience will win over animation fans and children alike.

Village Voice -
Gorgeously mounted tale of enlightenment through art and courage.
|
|
Salon -
A gorgeous transcription of medieval decorative art and its themes into a contemporary animated narrative, one that should enthrall children older than 8 or so, along with the adults lucky enough to watch with them.

The New York Times -
It is only fitting that a movie concerned with the power and beauty of drawing -- the almost sacred magic of color and line -- should be so gorgeously and intricately drawn.

New York Post -
Quite unlike anything I've ever seen before.
