I remember going to see this in a movie theater. I’d never seen anything like it before and since most of it was created artificially and set inside an artificial world, it gave me a strange, claustrophobic, stifling feeling. Very uncomfortable. It was beautiful aesthetically (and still is) but I was bored out of my mind by it. I’ve got a much higher tolerance level for it now. Interesting side note – I watched a ‘making of’ doc and some of the nicest stuff (those glowing lines on the characters) is actually trad animation.
