The story is moving, heavy with symbolism. Funny, sad, confusing, truly the world seen by a child.
Well written script that feels like reading a novel and listening to someone's story at the same time. Very metaphor heavy.
The best part is the animation. The small things are given so much detail as to make the world feel real. The painterly style is unique and you can see how much work went into every single frame. The expressive faces, the landscapes, the complex settings, the color theory ... both artistically and technically impressive.
Worth a watch. Family friendly feel good movie with some real depth.

The concept of stop motion puppets as meta monsters is so satisfying I'm surprised it hasn't been more often.
However, for it to work the story has to be even more compelling than the visuals. Gross meaty puppets alone can't carry a whole movie.
Stop Motion is a daring movie with some genuinely disturbing moments .
However, the pacing, the acting, the sound design... it's average at best. The characters are all unlikeable, the themes are cliché.
It's not a terrible movie and some people might really enjoy it. But for those who have watched the fair share of horror, I'd recommend going straight to the animator's other work.

This isn't a very historically accurate movie, nor did I expect it to be. Nowadays I understand biopics are historical fanfictions.
Nonetheless, this movie captures the ambience of late monarchy France in a way that is compelling and immersive.
What I liked most was the humor! I laughed several times from the absurdity the characters were forced to display. Maïwenn managed to be both endearing and slightly detestable, which I also enjoy.
My least favorite part was the glamourification/cutesification of certain very bad practices of the time (cough cough, slavery).
Depp wasn't very good, mostly because his bad french limited his dialogues, even if he did have a convincing air of pompous severity.
Overall, a fun movie with great costumes and a very over the top decor, decent acting, and some good historical anecdotes.
