MorpheusOne

While this was well made, it could've been better. I enjoyed the interviews done with various people, sound editors, at least one composer and directors; more archival footage of actual interviews with Humphrey Bogart, Orson Welles, Stanley Kubrick, etc., would definitely have increased the quality of this documentary. Although, I do realize that there may be no footage that exists, or at least that could be found in time, where those individuals who are no longer with us talk in detail about the sound (voice, sound effects and music) and all of the editing involved in their specific films, their overall body of work, their own influences, etc. I think it would have been a great idea if the story of sound was told chronologically. It jumped around quite a bit (Although, not wildly; still...), it would have made more sense to not have gone exactly chronological only to jump back to something, a radio broadcast, TV show, movie, whatever, that influenced someone with its sound & that influenced them professionally, in a specific movie or movies of their own. And this played a little more loose & fast with the chronology than I think is reasonable.

Claymation, a form of animation that few people seem to know even exists, is the entire movie. And animation, as a whole, seems to be particularly looked down upon by many people because of the perception that animation is only for children. That's...apparently...what the creators of this film had originally intended. I find that to be particularly ignorant and short-sighted.

With that out of the way, I do however not believe that the following is because of or in spite of this. While I do find that this film may be okay for older children, I would say no younger than 10, the concept of evil is examined in some detail in this film and while many younger children may just find this film simply unappealing, too complex for them to grasp, perhaps just as many, I think it's likely, could find the film disturbing.

Good luck!
