Mirrormask

England

Nifty mix of real with CGI...maybe the most imaginative I've seen. The story, by Neil Gaiman, centers around a young girl's rebellion against her mother and subsequent guilt when mom gets sick. Most of the action takes place in a dream.

Visually spectacular, thematically interesting...a little shrill along the way, but not to a major fault. Overall a mostly successful effort at using the traditional quest themes in fresh way.
