    A moving masterpiece !

    Calamity is definitely one of my favorites cartoons! The graphic style is unique and the story is beautiful! It looks like a moving painting! The message is great! it totally deserves its Annecy award!

    Remi Chaye is back at directing again.

    I really wanted to find somewhere to watch this movie online, and I finally did! I really liked this movie, but it wasn't as good as Long Way North in my opinion. The humour was pretty good and some characters were decent. Sadly there's no English dub yet.

    Beautiful yet so boring

    Oh my god, what did they do to Calamity Jane?

    In the first place it has nothing to do with the historical character apart from her name; the main character is so annoying that it seems that I am watching Dennis the Menace.

    Always so angry and upset.

    Yes, the animation is so beautiful but don't use her name in vain.

    Wonderful transformation story

    The legend of Calamity serves to build a film of great formal beauty, in the creation of landscapes full of color and an unlimited horizon. With a solid script that creates an entertaining story and endearing characters, Calamity is also a vindication of women in a man's world, where the disguise builds her own personality. It's a story of transformation from girl to woman and from woman to myth.

    An empowering film with the looks of a fun adventure film

    Supported by a daring visual touch with strong acid lively colors , "Calamity" offers a subtle script that goes deeper than the simple hollow messages like "be yourself" that can be found in a lot of films aimed at children... Instead, "Calamity" shows the different levels of oppression in a society through the archetypes of the American West, with authority figures and victimes often taking turns, one becoming the other... Martha Jane/Calamity being the anomaly in the machine, subverting social codes : when the whole world is governed by codes and uniforms, why not go on your own code and invent your own personal identity ? This way, the film gives a strong empowering look on life and identities, a good message for girls and boys alike.
