Watched this on Blu-ray. It was nice to look at and surprisingly easy to follow. Many older, foreign animated films can get quite complex, which can be a turn-off to some viewers, but this ended up having a simple enough plot and was easy to follow despite the heavy symbolism. In our opinion, this was both a positive and a negative; the opening was beautiful and captivating, but the story was so simple that the film began to feel repetitive despite the short runtime. Nonetheless, this is a movie every true film buff needs to watch. The animation alone deserves significant attention and praise.
