Just when you thought you were over animation, along comes this priceless gem of a film. Both the story, and the animation style are refreshingly original and beautifully told. I saw this film at a touring program of Australian Film School graduate films last year. It's seeming simplicity belied the incredible amount of time spent in bringing this story to life. The "Birthday Boy" wanders through streets of his Korean village and plays on his own. The little boy has so much character and is like no other character I've seen on the screen before. It was a very vivid story and has remained with me since then. I hope it goes well overseas and at the Oscars, imagine a quinella, following Adam Elliots "Harvey Crumpet" win last year !!
