It’s sublime to see how spectacularly executing a story using animation can be. There are more and more voices that need to proclaim this whole revolution and make this cinema seen and taken seriously.
Watching narratives in this way is not to suggest, but to affirm that everyone involved in such a production should be categorized as brave due to all the unnecessary resentment that permeates this subject. Therefore, we are faced with splendid and water-making results.
“Perlimps“, by Alê Abreu, (nominated for an Oscar with “O Menino e o Mundo”), is consecrated for adhering to its core all the soul that creating an animation needs to concentrate. The work is basically a statement that an animated film is an act of revolution — this question is duplicated if we look at how national cinema is seen.

Not that the film wants to be heard as a kind of force that comes to change the past and serve as a rise of precepts, but the fact that it only exists and realizes with great wisdom the world created for the work, the whole debate that animation is yes, a power seems to come to light lightly.
The universe of “Perlimps” seems a little complicated to condense when we find Bruô and Claé in an adventure that follows the typical pattern of the hero’s journey, but it is different in terms of why these two are together and need to go after solving the problems of world. The risk is apparently us, seen as giants who want to destroy Mother Nature.
World, sound, story and characters talk like nothing seen before in our cinema
Everything around the cute protagonists seems to be placed on a scale that always tends to weigh in two ways: sound and image. The plot is indeed a strong characteristic point that makes everything put on screen hyper authentic, but these two factors make the project something completely unshakable.

Using colors that even in the darkest moments fail to enchant, the 2D technique is so well unified with the sound that the result is poetic to the point of purifying to watch and sanctify that this is a brazilian feat — it is possible to be proud of itself, due to each painting put on stage, and because they are uniquely ours.
The Artifices ofPerlimps” placed in the container, in front of a beautiful backdrop, they highlight how beautiful the animation is, not only for its vibrant colors, charming characters, atmosphere that washes the soul and songs that seem like lullabies, but for respecting the purpose that above all makes it true.
“Perlimps” arrives February 9 in theaters.
