The animation, score, voice acting, and overall steampunk aesthetic are all absolutely stellar. And I could have watched an entire movie of that sole robot tending to their overgrown landscape (which is probably why I like WALL•E and The Wild Robot so much). But I’d be lying if I said this thing didn’t drag. I’m willing to admit some of that’s down to personal preference. I mean I do rapidly lose interest any time an action scene begins… and there’s a…

Seriously, this is one of my very favorite movies and it's got a 55% on Rotten Tomatoes.
But for those who don't know (which is probably a lot of people…
