| Pixar yes, but here's OTHER Animation
What a wonderful gem of work this is, and I am glad that it was done RECENTLY.

In a time when Pixar is setting the standard for "animation", here comes a film that makes you remember why you liked animation in the first place. This is a wonderful technique film, a study of art film, an abstract film, a joy to watch. The story might be a bit complicated for most to keep up but the beauty of it is - it's complexity. The grandmother was wonderful as well as the dog and the cyclist -- but what blew me away was the overdrawn charatures of the characters.

And there will be no more "frogs" for me, ladies! :)

A deserved USA Oscar nomination. In a Pixar world, bring on more like these to keep the balance too!

Did You Know?

Trivia

The film is almost entirely dialogue-free (though there are some spoken words, they are incidental.)

Quotes

Madame Souza: Is that it, then? Is it over, do you think? What have you got to say to Grandma?

Goofs

When the two waiters are running to the Mafia in the restaurant, the left-hand waiter's hair color is black, but in the next take his hair is gray.

Crazy Credits

There is a short continuation of the scene where the old lady and the dog hire the pedalo for 20 mins after the credits. It shows the owner continuing to wait for them to return, despite the fact that it has been several weeks since they rented the boat.
