This film feels like a journey through a beautifully rendered, often perilous world, driven by a mother's fierce determination. It's an earnest, wondrous experience, tinged with suspense and a bittersweet undertone, all brought to life with a distinctive, darker hand-drawn animation style that feels both classic and timeless.
