Its portrayal of jazz is not only accurate in terms of its soundtrack of classic cuts and depiction of performance (...) but also its wider cultural context.
It’s a free-jazz fantasia about a sad and lonely musician, with globules of Frank Capra, 60s psychedelia, 80s body-swap and an old-fashioned stairway to heaven that put me in mind of Pressburger and Powell.
So I finally watched it...lovely film! Compelling story and a touching message...a fun adventure with good character development and super creative animation. Definitely recommended to children of all ages :D
I love this movie. I’m a music teacher and my name is also Mr G. This movie is about me, the more I watched it the more I realized it was me in this movie. It makes me cry in every time I watch it.
