Nocturna

NOCTURNA (2007) - Sept. 15, 2007
An enjoyable if somewhat slight cartoon about a young boy who, over the course of a long night, tries to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of a disappearing star. It's very fantastic and Miyazaki-esque, though even at 80 minutes it drags in parts. It's really well animated, though, and is almost always compelling just on a visual level. ***
