L'illusionist



We saw this, The Illusionist, last night. So now I've seen all three of the Animated Film nominations. While this is my least favorite of the three, that is not because it isn't good. Actually, it's great, so, nomination well-deserved. While Toy Story 3 and How to Train Your Dragon had great CG visuals, nothing beats a beautiful hand-drawn, 2D film, and this one was one of the best-looking I've seen. The Triplets of Bellevile always creeped me out but this film is a must-see. Very funny, very touching...also very sad, let me tell you. I mean, if you cried at the end of Toy Story 3 (which, c'mon, you did) wait until you see how this one ends. Man.
