Delicious.

China has quickly risen to become one of the leading countries in the animation world. They borrow from their Japanese and American friends, but often manage to go a step further, especially in the technical field. The Umbrella Fairy borrows liberally from anime, but you have to go to 4°C anthologies to see the same level of animation.

The setting, folklore and symbolism make it feel very Chinese. Anyone who likes to watch a Chinese fantasy epic will feel quite at home in the story, apparently it is a bit difficult for others to follow sometimes. The film is also quite short and has some lore. But just open your eyes and enjoy.

4.5* and an extensive review
