Impressive technical prowess in stop-motion animation, the use of materials for sculpting and theatrical combat, and a 'classic' narrative. It's truly surprising to be so captivated by familiar materials. We look forward to a feature-length version that paves new possibilities for period dramas that animation can depict.
