JULIET AND THE KING is a delightful, animated film about a theatrical troop that is brought to Iran to perform a version of Romeo and Juliet with the Shah as part of the cast.
I had a blast with this film.
To be certain it isn’t perfect, but at the same time it is so absolutely not Hollywood that you forgive any flaws as you watch some brilliant things transpire before our eyes. The characters on screen are not really like anything that we've seen here in America. The plot does not flow as we expect and there is real danger at times. The hows and whys of it all doesn't feel old hat.
Yes, the
animation is wonderful. There are small details everywhere that will make the
animation junkies, like me, grin with delight..
I loved this.
As someone who is tired of everything being Disney or 3D
computer animated, this film is a breath of fresh air that harkens back to the
work of Don Bluth or Richard Williams.
Highly recommended.
