Mike F One of the most unique films ever made. Strings is truly a masterpiece of cinematic transcendence. While you know that you’re watching marionettes, you feel for them, grieve with them, and take their journey with as much belief as if they were live actors. Highly underrated and sadly too unknown. A Must See! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Tristan R Strings is a 2004 animated film directed by Anders Rønnow Klarlund. The film is unique in that it is entirely made using marionette puppets, with no CGI or other forms of animation. The story follows Hal Tara, a prince who goes on a journey of self-discovery to uncover the truth about his father's death and his own destiny. The animation in Strings is visually stunning, with the marionette puppets bringing a tactile and organic quality to the film's characters and environments. The attention to detail in the puppet design and movements is impressive, with each character having their own distinct mannerisms and expressions. The story in Strings is also engaging, with a mix of action, drama, and mystery. The film's themes of self-discovery and questioning authority are thought-provoking and add depth to the story. The voice acting, which includes James McAvoy and Catherine McCormack, is also strong and brings the characters to life. One of the film's unique features is its use of music. The score, composed by Johan Söderqvist, is a mix of orchestral and electronic elements that adds to the film's otherworldly and fantastical tone. Overall, Strings is a visually stunning and engaging film that is sure to captivate audiences with its unique animation style and thought-provoking story. It is a film that is well worth seeking out for animation fans looking for something out of the ordinary.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/22 Full Review nefasto r A pretty dark and, in some parts, even horrific fairy tale, but most importantly: a good one. A bit on the nose about the string theory, but at least is something unseen before, and for me that is always very important! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member With an inherently traditional, however nearly perfectly executed plot, and a visual style that justly deserves the attributes "fantastic" and "mythical", Strings is a very singular experience. Be it the dark, allegorical story, the fleshed-out characters or the technical sophistication, the movie is a necessary viewing for fans of fantasy and animation movies.
