WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Kong Ho Meng Surprisingly well made for a CGI animated film. The storyline was very creative and well-made given the type of material it is based on - I would even say it kind of reminded me of the solid plot in Toy Story 3 which was made later? Although it still suffered from the major setbacks seen in most other unsuccessful CGI films. For example, the lack of chemistry between characters, motivation, relationships between events), and the characters lacked the emotional features that can be seen in Finding Nemo/Toy Story 3.Still, there were touching moments in the film and some good plot twists, overall the film still managed to impress.

Andrew When I pressed play, I was not sure what to expect. I knew a girl loses her mirror and goes to a "magical world" to get it back. I was wondering, what would the moral be: "treat things with respect"? "Don't forget your stuff?" Anyway, my hopes were not that high and I expected something overly predictable. And what did I get? Well, it wasn't a total opposite of what I thought it would be, but it wasn't a cliché storm either. I liked where the movie went and how it ended. It was a truly magical adventure that made me happy, once I took it. I do not want to spoil anything, so, find it and watch it. There is a fansub (a very good one) floating around the Interwebs, plus there is also a DVD release by Funimation planned for 2012.Now, to the technical details: Look: 9/10. The character 3D models aren't the best in the industry, but they are alive with emotion and move nicely. The backgrounds steal the show however, since they are either hand-painted or made to look like it. And the colors in everything are AWESOME.Length: 10/10. An hour and a half, perfect for this film.Story: 8/10 or 10/10. It is not too complex, but little details here and there make it perfect. Perfect for me, at least. For this kind of movie, I cannot imagine another story. But some viewers might find it too simple for their sofistik8ted tastes, hence the possible rating of 8/10.Voice acting: 10/10. I only watched the fansub, but I thought the lines were delivered with the right emotion for every scene.Music: 10/10. Hear it to believe it. I, for one, am going to hunt the down the soundtrack CD.Closing remarks - SEE IT.

dbborroughs Odd mix of traditional and computer animation is a great looking, if a tad too video gameish story about a girl who follows a "fox" who takes her keys and ends up in the world where the collectors of the things we forget go. It becomes a quest for a mirror that her deceased mother gave her.Great sequences don't hang together because the film doesn't build up some of the characters and their motivations. If this were a video game it would work, but as a whole film its less then it should be.Its worth seeing thanks to sequences like our heroine's forgotten stuffed animal literally riding to the rescue, but you'll probably be like me and wish this was better.

Kareem Ahmad "Oblivion Island" is for sure a beautiful animation , starting from its characters represented in the heroine Haruka , her cute friends in oblivion island, and the whole magical idea about the island.The film starts in a 2d animation telling the story of the island and then shifts to its 3d style with what seems to be still hand drawn backgrounds in several scenes, the drawings are beautiful indeed , and the 3d characters are well designed , on the visual side, this is a fine movie to watch.The story is as engaging as the visuals, as it talks about oblivion island, an island where fox-like creatures take things long forgotten by humans and make use of them, the film follows Haruka's journey to this island and the several events she experiences and the effect of these events on her memories, there are several heartwarming scenes especially at the beginning and near the ending.I watched "Oblivion Island" with my brother and we both enjoyed it, its a beautiful entertaining movie and -for me- it won't go into oblivion.
