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.
Single best investment
By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused - its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing - so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10
