Just when Jeffrey Katzenberg had loudly declared the death of 2-D animation, along came this sly, inventively drawn cartoon that blew the cumbrous studio leviathans out of the water.

fresh:
A winning blend of dark and bittersweet, aimed more at adults than kiddies, but suitable for all ages.

Relish the film's deadpan grotesquery, its flair for invention, be it the fanciful narrative segues or various object lessons...

It's impossible to watch this movie without gasping at its graphics, and yet we're so drawn into Chomet's way of seeing that, after a while, his genius erases the distinction between animation and live action.
