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.

Got this back when I was pregnant, but I'll be keeping it forever, it's just so handy. I don't go to the movie theater that often (even back before quarantine when you actually could...) but I make sure the app and the movie list are all current and updated, cause it's so handy! It's great for running late cause you can read their summary, obviously awesome for bathroom or snack breaks mid movie, and I also love that it tells you if there's anything after the credits which is very handy.
