Review:

Chaos without expression. Form without function. It's a frustrating poster all around.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Put bluntly, I don't like anime. Hayao Miyazaki remains the only artist that I can stomach. This doesn't look too bad, but, like Paprika a couple of years ago, I'm probably not going to get around to it.

Oscar Prospects:

Being on the Animated Feature short list doesn't help it get a nomination and with room for only three, don't count on it.

Release Date:

• December 24, 2010
