I loved this film for the following reasons. 1. The kind of animation that they have used. All hand-drawn. Like the cartoons we used to see earlier when we were kids. 2. Sean Bean has given voice to one of the characters and I'm a fan of his after Game of Thrones and LOTR: TFOTR and so, it was a treat to hear him. 3. The trope of man v/s nature (like in Pocahontas, Avatar and Atlantis: The Lost Empire). I liked all three of these films and so, there's no doubt that I'd like this one too. 4. The subtexts beside the subject matter. The main theme is what I mentioned earlier. But other than that, if you can read between the lines, you'll notice how subtly the film points out racism and also how effortlessly it showcases feminism. 5. The ironies. A girl is asked to stay away from forest and wolves by her father and those same wolves are asked to stay away from humans and hunters by a wolfwalker. A father wants her girl to not go out and speak up because he doesn't want her "caged" by the administration and for that, he puts her in another cage; doesn't let her get out and forces her to stay in. 6. The visuals. I was literally mesmerized on seeing the beautiful forests and waterfall and even the town is shown so beautifully with so much detailing. 7. The thrills. Many a times I found myself whispering "Oh, no" , "please, no" throughout the film. 8. The message. Like the above mentioned films, the message here is so important. The world is as much of other species as it ours.

This film is clearly a labour of love and you should definitively check it out. If you are a sucker for animated films, no chance you should miss it and if you don't like them much, try watching this one and maybe you'll start liking them.

P.S. : This is a fantasy film so please don't be skeptic about the things that'll happen. Don't watch with your brain, watch it with your heart and give in to the world of this stunning film.

Just finished watching this film and couldn't help stopping my tears. A story about a family who gets separated when on vacation due to the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004, this one does it perfectly. From acting, to sound, to direction, everything is good enough. Tom Holland is so good in the role of a young boy. Somewhat predictable story but full of kind and helpful characters. This film taught me how we should look out for others in times of tragedies and crises like these and how to never lose hope. Would recommend everyone to watch this film with their family.

What a movie! This one clearly depicts how fears of society and the World can destroy such a beautiful relationship. And the performances by the lead actors were just great. Where we enjoy the jolly nature of Qais in the first half, Avinash Tiwary made us feel the pain of Majnu too and brought tears in our eyes.
