User Review
TERRA is worth seeing - best film we saw at Toronto
Rating: 10/10
I was at the gala premiere of Terra in Toronto and was absolutely blown
away by this film- I'm not a big festival goer- but I was in Toronto on
vacation and saw something about Terra on the local news. It's hard to
believe that 'kickmekenneth' and I were at the same screening. I've
never commented on these types of websites but came across this review
when I was looking for info about this film. The film was incredible-
the world Tsirbas created is gorgeous and totally unique. I felt as
though I was watching a painting come to life. It was so refreshing to
experience an animated story whose characters had depth and conflict
like those in a dramatic live action film. The environmental and
anti-war themes were expertly woven into the plot and clearly Danny
Glover, Brian Cox and Justin Long felt strongly enough about this film
to present the premiere and Danny Glover was gracious enough to talk
with us afterward. Terra's only flaw may be that it is ahead of its
time in the US – where we are are used to our animated characters being
simplistic, forgettable talking animals. TERRA is the future of CGI. I
took a group of children who have not stopped talking about this film
since the screening- we go to all the animated films, and I've never
seen this kind of reaction from them. I also noticed a few adult
audience members sniffling tears at the dramatic conclusion. BRAVO Mr.
Tsirbas! This is a film worth seeing... Does anyone know who Mr.
Tsirbas is or where I can learn more?
