L'ILLUSIONNISTE [THE ILLUSIONIST] [2010]

From Les triplettes de Belleville writer/director Sylvain Chomet, comes another beautifully animated tale. With next to no dialogue and a few incoherent mumbles, The Illusionist can be enjoyed by anybody.
It's a charming, heartbreaking tale about an illusionist struggling to get by 1959, Paris. It's humorous, thoughtful and looks incredible with it's warm, muted colors. The vastly varied character designs, gorgeous backgrounds and the warmth of classical animation make it an instant classic in my books. Upon second viewing I paid close attention to minor details and was completely blown away by the attention to detail with the sound effects, the subtle in-jokes and reflections of the different lives.

...and there's a bunny.
