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 BeautifuL R This is a very nice movie indeed. 😍 A movie that reminds us how colorful, jolly, and full of adventure our imagination was during our childhood days. Age is just numbers and let's not forget the beautiful things we have experienced during those days. We may not be as young as yesterday but only our physical body grows old but our heart is still young. Hope you watch this with your kids, this is a one great movie for the whole family.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Paul S This was such an amazing film.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Matthew R I mean. if you're twelve. Or emotionally stunted. Or i guess if you were insanely addicted to asian cartoons (not really sure if this counts as anime). At any rate. If you are one of the above, you might like it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 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.
