Reviews

A nice animation style for

"A nice animation style for this one! The features were very nice to watch after the film"

— Charles S. (5/5)

Charming Flim

"Honestly one of my favorite films I’ve seen this year. Such a quiet and charming film that dabbles with darker tones like grief without losing its whimsy. Its animation style is so unique because it was all made by hand by a single artist (I believe). I will definitely pull this film out for movie nights paired with hot chocolate and a heavy blanket."

— Ismael F. (5/5)

Beautiful and unique animation

"Adorable, wondrous, warm and feel-good animation with a wonderfully distinct visual style. Gorgeous art and packaging as well!"

— Tony H. (5/5)

A Serene Film Experience

"My 2nd film form this Director and what a different experience. It is a chill and relaxing experience filled with wonder. I found the film to be well paced (though it is not fast paced paced). Excellent animation with a great transfer."

— Stephen P. (5/5)

Okay

"Nice cozy story that becomes a metaphor for the cycle of life. Very original release, everything about it was definitely a passion project. But it is very indie in production value and I'll probably only watch it the one time."

— Gregory L. (3/5)

Amazing Release

"I love this release so much. The paper cutout animation is done brilliantly. This film was captivating with a musical score that was soothing. Picture quality and the slipcover are great. Highly recommend grabbing this one before it's gone."

— Scott C. (5/5)

Cartuna Always Delivers Quality!

"Here's another killer animation feature from Cartuna, who's always putting out great material. When I saw this release listed, I knew I wanted to get a copy for myself. I find the style of the movie's lightness and simplicity leaves room for the power the story has to behold."

— Jake B. (5/5)

Delightful and magical

"While the voice acting isn't always top-notch, it's the art and setting, and the wonderfully independent animation, that makes this lovely."

— Kyle G. (5/5)

Just what I needed

"This is such a chill time and I absolutely love the handmade quality of it all."

— Kyle K. (5/5)

Lakris Exists

"The power of animation is strong in the films of Eric Powers. His 3rd feature here, is a more easy going one, quite nice. The selection of techniques here, paper cut outs, sand animation, and watercolor, all culminate into a nice trippy little film. Though limited, the special features are pretty cool, and the slipcover is super sweet."

— Ben. Z. (5/5)
