A weak program this year. The opening short from Norway was charming and witty and portended a good show. But to my eye that was the high point. Several of the others were OK...like The Dam Keeper but when I see these I'm looking for innovation both in graphics and storyline and none of these dazzled me.
The people making and choosing these films are thinking 'children.' We need to move past that premise. Any themes done in an adult film could be done in anime with more imaginative visuals.
It was interesting to me that there were no entries from the Far East...where the best anime is being done today.
