| User ReviewSean CA landmark in early animation that's almost comical now, at least to me, in its presentation. This isn't to say the animation is laughable -- far from it -- considering the process by which it was made and the painstaking work that went into it, it's easy to marvel at the animation. The propaganda aspects of the storytelling, however, are worth a chuckle. |
