I&#8217;d never heard of it but it seemed to have rave reviews. I still can&#8217;t believe how good it is! There was apparently some hiccup with its marketing at the time of its release, and so it was never properly promoted.<\/p>\n<p>I love this movie, the characters are wonderful, the animation is great, but it also has a really strong story, with a feel-good ending that makes my throat hurt and my eyes leak! I think it would have the same appeal for almost anyone who watched it.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a sequence in the movie where Hogarth teaches the giant robot some simple words. I wondered if it might make a good flashcard sequence for wossis.com, and got a little carried away! The cardset I made is not really &#8216;learning&#8217; any more, it&#8217;s more like a comic strip! I think that&#8217;s interesting in itself.
