Luis A @ZackWall 3d The show was great! But the ending was not as satisfying as I would've wanted it to be. See more Anne D @Nanou Jan 26 Beautiful animation, beautiful and strong heroine, an exceptional choice of music. A wonder gem underrated! See more Henri M Jun 21 Vu en avant première et en famille, avec nos deux fils (12 et 3 ans), nous avons adoré ce film tous les quatre. Enfin une histoire qui vous tient de bout en bout et qui ne prend pas les enfants pour des... idiots. Je craignais que mon fils de trois ans s'impatiente durant la projection et que comme pour les minions, il veuille qu'on aille se promener dans la rue, mais là, pas du tout. Il est resté scotché par l'histoire de cette fille et des marins, accroché à son siège durant la tempête et fasciné par le bateau. Ma femme et moi avons l'habitude de nous faire trainer au cinéma pour le plaisir des nos bambins, mais cette fois ci ce fut un réel plaisir pour nous aussi tant le spectacle et les personnages sont magnifiques. Le réalisateur nous a fait un discours dans la salle et c'est son PREMIER film ! Une vraie réussite. Bravo à ce grand monsieur qu'on suivra sur ses prochains films... et surtout merci pour cette bonne surprise. See more Stephen C @bob25009 May 12 Rated PG for Some Peril and Mild Language. All in just 1 hour and 21 minutes, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jay W 01/03/2025 I heard nothing about this film before going into it. I happened to find the Blu Ray in a bargain bin at a grocery store, and saw that it was by the same creators of "Song of the Sea" and "Ernest and Celestine", which are two great animated films. So, I decided to give this film a chance, and I'm glad that I did. The setup for the film feels a bit like a Disney Princess movie, with Sasha as the strong independent girl who does not conform to her parents’ snooty ways. What this film does better than many of these modern Disney Princess films is that Sasha really grows and changes through the film. She starts off weak and naive, but through the course of the film she learns to work hard and how to survive in the world. What helps with this survival attitude is how harsh this world is. This is a PG movie with a real sharp edge to it. The world feels dangerous, the crew feels expendable and there are no easy answers. Any victory that these characters get, has to come at the end of some hard-fought battles. The film reminds me of the Don Bluth films of the 80's, the ending can only feel satisfying if the trials that the hero goes through are suitably dangerous. But one of the edges that those films have over this one is the great musical score of James Horner. This film is sorely lacking in great music. In fact, in some regards the film feels unfinished. From the dubbing, the animation and the ending, there are things that feel unpolished. Still a good film, but perhaps with a little more time, this could have been one of the all-time greats. See more 03/06/2022 Subtle epic composing familiar narratives under engaging, unexpected growth reminding adoring love in line with honor towards the adventurous survival stretch, all charmingly animated and performed through appealing characterization.
