I don't like this one as much as "Brother", but it's simply a matter of preference and not anything objective in that assertion. It's the same style of animation and photography with the same meaning in the grays. It's the same simple memory-based style of story.
It just doesn't seem as personal to me, even though it was made before "Brother." I think it's just about as detached from the situation as cousins are from brothers.
However, it's still a really sweet and caring tribute to a colorful character that has filled someone's life, and I'm really impressed with Elliot's ability to bring these characters back to life. I honestly hope more people get to see this (so far) family trilogy to experience something really caring in a style so often used for cheap entertainment.
