Rating: B Commentary: It’s richly detailed, carefully constructed and lacks the generic cast photo feeling of most animated feature poster designs. |
Rating: C Commentary: I was immediately struck by how similar the protagonist felt to Pixar’s Brave Merida. Then other animated film similarities began to creep into the production (not to mention non-animated ones). That lack of a feeling of originality makes for an uncomfortable time watching the trailer. |
