OK, so neither of us had seen the first two, but our niece wanted to see this, so off we went to Park Place in St. Pete. Now I want to watch the first two. In short, it was a fun story, great acting (voices), and the animation was simply stunning, so vivid and beautiful in design, particularly the hidden world itself which just jumps off the screen with its metallic and glowing vibrancy. Especially the aerial and watery shots were fantastic, but what I’m even more impressed by is how they now managed to master both the lighting in the vastly different environments and the balance of very colourful and gloomy-gray environments in the movie. The soundtrack is well “coloured” and has a more “grown-up” feeling to it with more celtic vibes, and it works beautifully. It doesn’t take focus from the imagery on the screen but adds more detail and depth to it.
The characters are well fleshed out, the stakes feel high, and the plot is meticulously crafted. Also, nearly every piece of dialogue in this film is hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing throughout the movie!
