Years in the making, this beautiful movie has been celebrated as a masterpiece based on it's animation, voice acting, emotional depth, music and visuals. It was a life long passion to make this stop action creation by director del Toro, and it shows in the attention to the smallest details. I went there and away.

The story behind the making of this instant classic is awe inspiring due to the commitment of taking a fresh new look at the fairy tale, this time set in Fascist Italy during World War II. Yes, in any case, the peak of the year. Oscar winner for Best Animation Feature, it took my breath away for its pure heart and artistry.
