Stunning visuals and with a cool premise and story, but the execution is a good bit too slow and meandering to properly grip me. Still quite an accomplishment, and recommended to any fan of animation and children's fantasy.

This film, or perhaps selected segments, could be included in an art class or history class doing an unit of illuminated letters. Although it takes place in a different time and setting, the film may also appeal to fans of Disney's Brave (2012) for its similar themes and the perspective of a feisty young person.… (meer)
