Jeremy M A very beautifully visualized movie, and a fantastic adaptation of the book that it was based on. It's gorgeous in every way, and takes you places that you may not have thought possible. It's rich material and fine storytelling for multiple generations. There is enough reinforcement of how this world works that my 6 year old was able to understand what was at stake throughout, and it was done efficiently that I didn't feel like I was being walked through everything--there's enough exposure before explanation that you're given the chance to figure things out yourself, which is probably when it hits most emotionally. I really enjoyed the music. It wasn't just something backing the dialogue and animation, but a much more active participant, revisiting themes and driving through the final scenes. I was able to catch this in a theater, and was also impressed by the multichannel mix. I'll miss that at home. Highly recommend, and I wish it had a larger theatrical release as it is the most emotionally powerful animated film this year. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Guillermo P The Imaginary is a wonderfully animated movie that beautifully captures the joys of vivid childhood imagination while exploring the bittersweet themes of the passage of time and the loss of innocence. Its rich storytelling and stunning visuals make it a truly memorable experience. This is a multilayered film, with subtle details and deeper meanings that reveal themselves with each viewing, making it well worth watching more than once. A heartfelt and thought-provoking journey, The Imaginary is a must-see for anyone who cherishes the magic of childhood and the poignant realities of growing up. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Kyle M Right before “IF” there was “The Imaginary”. However, while the former shows evident embrace of the inner child that the latter simultaneously proposed, this more-so been geared to entertain children than satisfying adults’ projected imagination. Although, it’s energetically cute and occasionally funny with ethically splendid animation to imperatively boost its heart. (B) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Sam A It’s the best movie on imaginary friends released this year, and that’s saying something given we got a bad horror one and an average comedy one. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Alister K Beautiful film and an interesting premise. You need to be able to keep up with the world of a kids imagination. Much better than a recent Hollywood film about imaginary friends. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Charvine A Disappointed. A great premise but a fantasy world still needs to make sense within its own lore. The rules here keep changing to keep the story going, ultimately making no sense at all. When there are no rules, then there is no danger and the story becomes unengaging. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
