Featured reviews
This is a good movie with a different approach to a known story to many. The animation is good and the story itself has nice moments and can be very emotional.
Unfortunetely, the last 15 minutes are filled with nowadays propaganda as if Anne Frank is a 20 years old activist, and honestly, if i knew that, i would never watched it since i'm completely over with pretentious and political movies.
I will not spoil anything but the end itself, as a movie, left me empty as it lead me to believe one thing and then reverts completely. I'm fine with creative freedom in storytelling and i usually like unexpected endings, but i didn't liked this and my rating reflects all that.

This movie is not afraid to mix a lot of ideas to remember the spirit of Anne Frank. The idea is to keep alive a war against racism and intolerance in a modern and brilliant movie. The animation is amazing and the way it represents nazism is absolutely beautiful and horrifying. Maybe I disagree a lot when I see parallels between Europeans Cops and nazis, so the movie is not perfect as was Congress. But maybe to show to the young generation when our aged grand parents will disappear with the memory of this horrible war.
This is a very good movie, and I really liked it. So rating it just 8 stars is, as far as I'm concerned, plain shame. But there are two very annoying faults standing between this movie and the perfect mark.
I mean, it is beautifully animated and acted. The two leads are simply wonderful. Namely Emily Carey as Anne Frank really feels like the girl who survived two years in a hidden apartment, stuck with her own family, another family and a crude dentist. And Ruby Stokes is perfect as the temperamental imaginary friend created by Anne Frank as a literary ploy in order not to speak with herself in her now famous diary. In fact I also loved the idea of the movie using this imaginary friend as a bridge between present day Europe and the days when the actual diary was written and it worked superbly almost all the way through.
And then we reach the ending and the perfect movie is turning all of a sudden from deep and thought provoking into simplistic attempt to solve the entire international refugees problem with a wave of a hand and a few brush strokes. And it also commits the sin of turning too preachy, as if it doesn't trust the viewers to get its point without having it spelled out in plain words. The movie didn't need this bluntness it was working so well without it.

I almost cried as I watched this brilliant movie. What a beautiful way to show what Anne Frank and her diary "Kitty" mean for the young people of today.
This movie was a Magical Realism about Anne Frank Imaginary friend named Kitty, who wakes up in the Modern Day Amsterdam. The film tells the story of Anne and Kitty in the Netherland during the Nazi Occupation and the 21st Century of the Netherland. I know about Anne Frank, and I have a Book that Anne Wrote when she was in a Safehouse during the Nazi Occupation of the Netherland. The Story of Annes Frank was tragic, she died in the Nazi's Death Camp, and I know that we should say that War is Hell. I love this movie because the film tells the story of Shoah to the Our Generation. And I think so that I will recommended this movies to watch and I gave this movies to 7/10.
