IMDB Review:

I'm another of those who saw this at Sundance, and all the things I enjoy about

Gaiman and McKean's graphic novels were on display: the quiet humor, the

intelligence, the delightful weirdness, the astounding visual vocabulary. Except

that in this case, the words are spoken by good actors, and all those visuals

get up off their feet and move.



It's hard to describe the impact of watching a McKean painting move and talk.

There might be those who quibble about the movie looking too animated, but of

course that's exactly the point: to create a world and make it dance. The end

result, visually at least, is like nothing you've ever seen before, and

absolutely worth seeing for that reason alone.



Some of the people I talked to after the screening also loved the visuals but

felt the story was a bit dull, that they had seen it all before. Well, it's true

that the story does wear its influences on its sleeve--a little "Alice in

Wonderland" here, a little "Time Bandits" there, a lot of "Wizard of Oz" over

here, not to mention a resemblance to Gaiman's own "Coraline." But I'm just as

familiar with those stories as anyone else, and the resemblances never

interrupted my enjoyment of "MirrorrMask"--after all, it's what you do with a

story that determines its success. And from moment to moment, there was enough

innovation and cleverness, enough delight and wonder, to make the movie a

positive delight.



I can imagine kids sitting in the audience with their eyes agog; and I can

imagine their parents sitting next to them, just as agog for a whole different

set of reasons. "MirrorMask" may or may not be too wild to be a full-out

commercial success; but I predict it's going to have a long, long shelf life. I

know I'll be buying the DVD as soon as it's available, so that I can show it to

people and say "Wait till you see this."
