You can definitely see the inspiration he took from this to make your name The animation is spectacular while I don’t like the fact it’s so short as I believe with maybe 40 more minutes it could have benefited massively 8.4/10 too short to give it any higher but still great 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Okay, I really tried to give this a chance but if I’m being honest it wasn’t that good.

For the very little story there is, its not very developed and is really slow. My biggest issue with it was how there was no resolution.

Only thing that was good was the animation

4/10

This movie is a movie you really have to look at to get. This movie is either something they clicks at the end or clicks on rewatch. For me the theme’s characters the beautiful shots and animation and what the movie means is amazing. For such a short runtime it’s great 9.9./10

It’s kinda a cute story but it was kinda confusing to watch

It was beautiful 😍✨

h

this movie would’ve been better if it had more of a story line.

it’s one of those movies you really gotta pay attention to. so cute

Every time I watch this movie it’s beauty and depth still hits me so hard. The pacing is so slow, but meticulously intentional that you feel Tono and his mental state. An all time favorite of mine that will never not be fantastic
