Japan
Animated treatment of stories by Ursula K LeGuin.
For an hour or so the very high quality of the drawn animation was captivating...landscapes, gothic interiors, noirish touches, fabulous use of color in general. In particular the careful sound design was effective in creating the illusion of reality. But when the meat of the story kicked in it became just more children's cartoon crash-bang indistinguishable from saturday morning fare.
Too bad. For a while I thought this was going to be the breakthrough for animation I've been waiting for.
