-The sub I got was sketchy at places, but it at least helped me understand what characters were talking about-
The film itself is fine - in fact it's better than fine! It's no Grave of the Fireflies, but it has the punch a movie about WWII should have and is the only animated holocaust film I can name off the top of my hand. There's a happier ending than most films of it's kind, and it's oddly fitting for this movie. It's not a tearjerker or complete tragedy. It is however a drama that I think is best for kids and families who are just now being introduced to this part of history. Story wise there is only one major drawback to the film and that would be these animal sidekicks that follow our kids around. They're distracting and in everyone's way. One is enough but three is too much (also they talk by the end of film? I honestly couldn't tell because of the sub).
The thing that will make or break this movie is the animation. It's not horrendous and it's serviceable, even kinda pretty at parts. The film would be made if it had a higher budget of animation. With the quality it has I'm worried people pick this movie out of the blue and judge it by how it looks rather than stopping to see where it goes (to be fair though, animated films do kinda owe themselves to looking presentable at the very least). Oh well. Give it a chance, especially if you like all walks of animation and animated films like I do.
