This is a very interesting movie. I liked it because it had a different take on what I like a lot in a movie: Action!

The movie makers managed to have big adventure happen in the setting of many different paintings! The characters would leap from the setting of one painting, a war scene, to another, like a landscape scene. This was not like any other animated films I'd seen. It showed animation in a "real world" setting (no space ships or aliens in this movie) and was very beautiful but also fast moving.

The important thing is that there was a lesson: people shouldn’t try to get others to be like themselves. They should accept other people as they are. I think a lot of people should go out and see this movie. It's different!

The Painting plays May 5, 2013, at 11am at The Aero Theatre. Buy tickets in advance through this link to make a donation to the school of your choice.
