Studio Ghibli, this ain’t.
There are definite comparisons to those Japanese films – lots of color, unique characters, whimsical set pieces – but man, this just didn’t work for me.

This French film about a boy from the future who wants to be able to fly like his family, and the girl that he meets in another time is nominated for Best Animated Feature this year. It has some different flavor from the standard Pixar and Disney nominees like Elio and Zootopia 2, and it definitely has an international flair, although it has been dubbed in English by such talents as Natalie Portman, Will Ferrell, and Flea (?!).
There are some interesting setpieces and ideas in this film, but I dunno – it didn’t capture me. Even with its short runtime, I was ready for it to end.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
