What a gang!!! As a lover of behavioral communication and interspecies interactions, I was completely entranced the entire film (and also quite anxious for our furry lead!) Though the domestic animals, including our lead, struck me as very Sims-like, Gints & team nailed every miau and mmrr and wide-eyed gaze. Beautiful music that served to ground and propel the plot and compliment the spiritual themes in the movie. The world is stunning (and gave me a feeling of Zeta Halo) and I can't wait to return!
