Review of Chico & Rita (2010) by Toni S — 14 Oct 2012
Computer animation is great and I have to admit I have been captivated by more than 1 movie that used this sterile method. All one has to do is watch a movie like Chico and Rita to remember the beauty of hand drawn animation and the fun the artist must have had watching it come to life 1 frame at a time.
Chico and Rita is a beautiful romance set in Cuba and New York in the time of the Cuban revolution. This is masterful storytelling at it's very best with a musical score featuring Jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Tito Puente.
but the films original score shines just as brightly. All I can say that after about ten minutes of this lush, human film I forgot I was watching animation and became so adsorbed that at the end I had tears rolling down my face.
That hasn't happened since ET. I give this wonderful work of art 100%...If I could give more, I would gladly. Talk about a great date night film. See it with the one you love and your love will be enriched.
