Rate a 6 English Subtitled A story about stories. Portrayed to the audience that can get the most rewards that being children. Growing up is annoying. There are a lot of things to learn. Most of which can be tragic. Reading used to be a method of escape. With words clever use of depiction of images allowed one for at least a brief moment to put aside one's matters and escape into the dream before them. Sadly the era of televisions/computers changed that dream. Only time will tell if that was for the better or worse in terms of knowledge/benefits. I personally find this modern area tobe neutral. Mainly because i am some what numb to the negative aspects. That being trolls and vile poisoners to name a few. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying positive feedback from other users around the world that enjoyed the same book or show. What i think would be a killer idea is if a sequel was done that showed the modern era of technology. Would the children still feel the same? Only aspect i didn't like was the artwork. For me i found it to be a tad blurry probably due to what i perceived to be water color. Which has a tendency of smearing color. That and the character's feet look abnormal which prevented me from fully appreciated anything else during those moments. One aspect i did like was the amount of psychology portrayed in that brief film. Such as was the book left on purpose as a mere test for younger minds? Was the book a book or a diary/thought journal?
