Chicago – If the 2016 Oscar nominations are examined a bit more closely, some real gems can be found. In the Best Animated Feature Category, beyond the familiar nomination of “Inside Out,” there is an offering from Brazil entitled “Boy & the World.”
The Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago is screening “Boy & the World” through February 11th, 2016.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
“Boy & the World” is a combination of simple line figure drawing through a colorful kaleidoscope of landscape and fantastical story settings. There is a boy going through this arena, in search of a father who has left the Eden he once shared with his son and mother. The writer and director Alê Abreu bites off a lot of themes – technology, urban identity, environmental issues and loss – and creates a hyperbolic world for that boy to explore. This is a big screen treat, with many animated indulgences, which becomes more of a sensation than even the story.
