Review of Wolfwalkers (2020) by Theredsky — 07 Dec 2020
The biggest surprise of 2020 for me. I was privileged to watch this before it’s released to the general public at the Savannah Film Festival. There’s a lot here to appreciate. The animation is one of them.
It’s simplistic but it still looks incredible. Every character, every building, every tree is different and unique from the next and the way they frame these shots is great. The animation style makes these environments look rich and beautiful.
The performances are great too. Each cast meme we did a great job portraying their characters especially Sean Bean and these portrayals made the emotional beats hit much harder and this is all due to the great character development and writing.
Every main character has a purpose and an arc they go through like the father realizing that just because something may look dangerous on the outside doesn’t mean they are dangerous on the inside. The story here is simplistic and that’s what I think holds this film from a 9/10 or a 10/10.
Elements of the story feel a little basic but that’s okay because it’s not geared towards adults. This was an incredible animated movie and I’m thankful that I got to check it out early. Please watch this when it comes out later this month.
It’s probably the best animated film of the year and I don’t see anything else topping it.
