A deeply emotional animated movie that is filled with the drama of a young child, as well as the adult’s personal lives illustrated with beautiful animation.

Any animation fan will adore the simple sketch animation and appreciate getting a peak into an illustrator’s process and the heart that goes into creating a character like Nicholas... One of my favorites of 2022

Rated: 9/10

I was expecting a full fiction animation film about Little Nicholas in the style of the illustrations from his books, but this film was more a collage of his adventures interspersed by the biographies of his two authors and how they came up with him as a character. Still a nice watch though.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
