    Animation like few have done it

    The story is moving, heavy with symbolism. Funny, sad, confusing, truly the world seen by a child.

    Well written script that feels like reading a novel and listening to someone's story at the same time. Very metaphor heavy.

    The best part is the animation. The small things are given so much detail as to make the world feel real. The painterly style is unique and you can see how much work went into every single frame. The expressive faces, the landscapes, the complex settings, the color theory ... both artistically and technically impressive.

    Worth a watch. Family friendly feel good movie with some real depth.

    a jewel of animation !

    The film poetically and candidly explores the naive and universal gaze of childhood discoveries. It gently and magically captures the perspective of a three-year-old child, offering a dive into childhood where everything is wonderful. The filmmakers have successfully transformed the literary material of the novel into a visually captivating and emotionally rich work.

    "Amélie and the Metaphysics of Tubes" is a personal and moving story that addresses themes such as identity formation, the preciousness of childhood memories, and the ability of wounds to heal over time. The film offers a dual perspective, both touching, sincere, and funny, through the childlike gaze of young Amélie and the profound discourse of the future author she will become.

    In summary, "Amélie and the Metaphysics of Tubes" is a splendid animated film that captures the essence of childhood with poetry and sensitivity. It tells the story of a little girl who discovers the world and transforms, offering a touching and captivating work that celebrates the magic of childhood.
