THE KING AND THE MOCKINGBIRD (1980) - March 2, 2004
A really well-animated French cartoon. The design of the film is really interesting to look at, and the animation is exceptionally fluid. About an egomaniacal king whose paintings come alive; a girl and a boy come out of two paintings, and he decides he wants to marry the girl. Despite being under ninety minutes it still feels overlong. The latter half really begins to wear out its welcome. It probably didn't help that the version I watched was french without any subtitles. Still, it always remains compelling, if only on a visual level. Plus, you can't go wrong with a movie that ends with a giant robot destroying a city. ***
