The Illusionist

Most of the reviews here praise the animation of this film but I think what they mean is the artwork. How everything was drawn is what is stunning and beautiful, not the animation. I savored the lush, gorgeous artwork but as with another reviewer here the story grew boring for me and I actually needed to leave...which is not to say I don't recommend this as all the positive reviews can attest. The artwork is a pleasure to look at. Oh and the sound effects were very interesting as well.    2/10/11
