Nocturna - 2007


Rated - G
80 min.

This spanish animated film is very, very DeToro, aside from the fact that he had nothing to do with it. The animation and character design is a wonderful mix of more modern "flash" styles with the talent of a past Disney film. The characters glide across the screen, zipping through the wonderfully painted backgrounds. What else is there to say... OH YEAH! the plot!?
again, the DelToro feel is unmistakable. The plot revolves around a child who stays up too late and finds out about the world of Nocturna. In the world, monsters put things back for us in the morning. Dew is gently plasced on to flowers, there are three "robots?" who's job it is, to mess up our hair at night. The main character runs into the "Cat Shepard" and mayham ensues. Definatly worth the rental, if you can find it. On top of all of that, it is in Spanish, but the Dub is perfect. So for those who worry abotu reading during a film, no worries!
