At first I was incredibly skeptical about this, but it turned out to be something really special.
I read the the book at school - quite a lot of years ago. And as I remembered it, it was quite good. But what almost made me not watch it was the style of animation. It reminded me of South Park but just more old school and stiffer in the way it's animated. I thought this is not going do be interesting but it was the opposite. Especially the style of animation made its atmosphere and deepness. It creeped me out some times.
The story is good. But what makes it is the way it's told. You see the main character become a grown-up in some ways and it's darkness and violent moments. One of the main feelings is despair in this movie.
Its really hard to explain but this is really something unique as far as I know. The combination of animation, the story, the character development and music is just unique.
Everybody should see this.
