    Everybody Rides the Carousel

    ★★★★

    A film everybody can relate to because 'Everybody Rides the Carousel,' this serene and slightly melancholic musing on life proves animation not only reached 'true excellence,' we reached it a long time ago.

    This small, 'under the radar' independent animated film from the 70s really is something special - and I know I've said that for many, but it is especially true in this case. From newborn to elderly, this film has an immensely gripping concept - showing bits and…

    The Storm

    ★★★

    With the budget of a truly cinematic experience and the feel of an indie animated production, 'The Storm' is far from perfect but when its storytelling works it really works.

    If you like the weird, the macabre, the twisted but kind of cute worlds of Busifan this film will definitely satisfy that niche. 'The Storm' is not amazing but this director always boasts creative ideas and spectacular art direction. For the occasional lows this film has I am absolutely in…
