The preview text made me think it played here and I missed it, but I guess we're not getting out at all? Seems kinda strange. Maybe replace "Canada" with "Toronto".

Another movie I’ll miss thanks to limited theatrical screenings. Hopefully GKids will put it on Netflix later on.

It's a very limited release in Canada, but not limited enough to just be Toronto. This is an art house run. If you know a local owner of one, ask them to carry the movie. |

I wish for the exact same thing out of Eleven Arts to do for A Silent Voice every day.

I appreciate the comment and understand the reasoning behind changing "Canada" to "Toronto" in the subheadline, but since the film is playing in three cities in Canada eventually, I wanted to be sure our Canadian readers saw the word "Canada" in the subheadline so that they could read the article and check the theater listings for themselves. |

It was an okay film.
There were about 15 people in the theater when I saw it. Major theater chain (AMC) but they screened the film in one of the smaller auditoriums of the cineplex. The dub was fine... Nothing spectacular but it wasn't poorly directed or cast by any means. I felt sure that if the characters were annoying in the dub, they probably were in the Japanese language version of the film (which was not being screened)! Definitely a rental but not a buy. Most of the GKids movies that are not Studio Ghibli are in that category. This film is funky -- it's essentially another take on "The Little Mermaid" with a Japanese bent on pseudo-mythos -- but it's not bad. It's -- well, it's not modern Disney so take that as an endorsement depending on how much Disney films annoy you these days with cloying messages and set-up for Internet memes. Experimental is on the money for the description of the animation. It's semi-hallucinogenic at points definitely ultra-realistic animation. It's a looser style and doesn't look anything like you'd see in a Ghibli film, Naruto, or Gundam for sure! It's not like anything an America studio would put out now if they were even doing traditional animation anymore in the States. They probably spent less than $10 million on this, maybe not even more than $5million, tops. They literally could NOT produce a major animated feature in the US through a studio nowadays without spending at least $90 million (and yet Bill Plympton manages to make his films for much less than $1million generally on average). |
