The Flying Machine

Hi, in my opinion that kind of movie does not exist yet in film world.

It's really interesting for some reasons:

• Stereo 3D looks amazing (I do not know, how it works, but it is like I'm the part of the film world)

• Stop Motion - the best, that I have ever saw

• Heather - and her role - you can see the woman, that is working too much , see her problems - you can compare it to many many families

• Chopin's music - there is no other artist like Chopin.

My kid also very liked it - specially balloons and the flying machine.

What can I say, go and try. :)

This is absolutely the best 3d animated film we've ever seen. The producers, director, animators, lang lang( music), actors, writers, should all realize what a artistic work of genius that they have created. The creativity the birth of the 3d art form unfold before our very eyes....it was nothing short of an absolute HONOR to watch ...no wait. Experience!!! I absolutely STOLE this bluray by only purchasing it for 35.00 brand new on Amazon. I actually feel guilty for paying so little for receiving so MUCH. As of today this has only a 4.6 rating which is WAY beyond a travesty it's an absolute insult to not only the artists that created this masterpiece but an insult to us TRUE film coniseurs that see a work of art when we see one. This is a Rembrandt of 3d animation and the addition of the flawless piano absolutely took our breath away!!! BRAVO!!!!!!

The animation was awful, the actors could of been better (that bootleg Kate Winslet got on my nerves). Lang Lang was the highlight of the whole film (give him his own film..please). The voice over of Fred was ridiculous (huff). That Jane should of been at school, plus why was her mum American? The angles need to be worked ( more Lang Lang). Please don't make another one. Is Fred transgender? P.S The story didn't make sense. Lang Langs backstory was utterly heartbreaking was wasn't he the lead. Maybe more dialogue for Fred? Give Lang Lang an Oscar. Wasn't very realistic, even for a children's film.The audio at times was either too loud or quiet.The story was extremely hard to follow, had no clue what was going on.Not a recommended watch.

Georgie (Heather Graham) takes her two children to see the 'Magic Piano' performed with famous pianist Lang Lang. They all end up inside the animated world.

The film inside the film is probably an interesting film. I'm not sure about doing a film inside a film in this case. Maybe they should have simply adapted the story straight into a live-action version. I do like the design of the flying piano. That could have been interesting. As it stands, the animation is a bit second tier. The music is lovely. I'm surprised that Graham is dancing. I hope that's her dancing. This is a Polish Chinese co-production and a bit of it is lost in translation.

Watching The Flying Machine was a truly unique experience and it will probably be the same for viewers in any age group. The first part of the film, which is a stop-motion animation with no dialogues, just the music of Chopin, is a small masterpiece. I can just imagine the incredible amount of work it must have taken to create a world so complex and full of beauty using puppets and I'm very impressed. The second, live action part, is less dreamy and more energetic, as we view the adventures of over-worked mom Georgie and her two kids: Fred and Jane, who travel on the flying machine through Europe, following the footsteps of Fredric Chopin. Chopin, who is the key to the film and whose music (performed by Lang Lang) was surprisingly touching and beautiful for me (I never thought I would be into classical music) is not only a musical genius, but an interesting character as well, as we get to know more about him during the film. I think one of the best things about the film is the fact that it can reach so many different viewers: animation fans, musical fans, families, those who want to learn about Chopin and classical music as well as those who dream about adventures. Go and see yourself!
