I took the time to write a brief review because I feel that the other reviewers definitely missed the point. Space dogs doesn't have the best state of the art animation technology, but the characters are really nice and lovable and we must give a chance to other productions to develop, not only Disney/Pixar. After all, many people still enjoy the old Bety Boop cartoons from the 20's, so the technique is not really the most important in a story. That said, I wouldn't call the animation "crude". It's not Mamoru Oshii, but it's acceptable.

I admit, the story has a bit of nostalgia for the old soviet times, which on the other side is a legitime feeling for many people in that side of the world. But I wouldn't call that "Propaganda", unless we agree to also call propaganda to 90% of the American animation. The most important thing about it: It's fun to watch, my 3 and 4 year old kids enjoyed a lot, and we have had a really good time together.

I just finished seeing this great movie, and found that there are no reviews for it in IMDb. Usually I don't write here, but it worths the time if I can make any of you to get interested enough to see this movie. When Clouds Clear is different from other denounce movies about environment. The focus is not put in the damage, nor in the bad actions of the ruthless corporations.There are already many good movies following this line. Instead, When Clouds Clear show you the everyday life of the people, the place where they live, their homes, their river. This is what they are trying to save. Cinematographically, the movie is OK. Good edition job, good music, and the people of Junin is showed in a very spontaneous way. They are not heroes, they are common people doing their best. The movie was made with little money, with little experience, and that only make this independent work yet more meritorious. This movie makes you think about the real meaning of quality of life, poverty, development and many other words. The people of Junin has their own ideas about it, and maybe we all can learn something from them. Cases similar to Junin's are happening all along the entire third world. Finally, although it's against the rules to include a link in this review, but this film is an independent release, it's free, and you can find the page in the web easily and see the movie there.
