A Princess from long ago has her quest for vengeance interrupted by a medic from the modem era.
This wasn’t a perfect film by any means there was clear tonal issues and a mismatch in some scenes where the film felt a bit confused, however, it was still far better than anything western animation has put out in years.
This is centrally a two fold issue, firstly Scarlet looks a hell of a lot better than things like Hoppers, the animation style looks sharp and vibrant, whereas Hoppers looks like A.I slop 3D animation, that looks the same as many other films.
Then secondly you have the themes this had themes of love, war and acceptance, it had widely universal themes that many people can connect to, whereas something like Hoppers has left wing messaging seeded into its soul.
Watching this film you get a little angry, not at it, at how good aspects of this film are such as the animation such as the story and themes and it makes you think just how generic and bad western animation has become.
Overall, a film that whilst tonally confused at times has a lot of heart and wonderful animation.
3.5/5
Pros.
The heart
The story
The animation
The pacing
Cons.
The tonal confusion
The bloodless violence
