Remarkable and memorable film, 27 September 2002
10/10
Author: Lisa Wall (lwall@smu.edu) from United States

One of the best, if not the very best, animated film I have ever seen. It is not a typical animated film. It is a very impressive film on a very tragic event. Beware, it may not be for small children. I recommend this film for anyone interested in history or animation. Winsor McCay best effort. You must see this film.
