The problem with animated features is that it's often categorized as a childish medium, focused primarily on the sheer draw of entertainment rather than promoting a political statement or analysis of reality. Grave of the Firelies breaks this mold with a heartbreaking tale of a brother and sister who are forced to face the realities of life in a torn country. As an analysis, it suceeds, but more importantly it creates a haunting image of postwar effects on its citizens - especially the kids. With memorable characters, great art direction, and a downright brilliant screenplay makes this movie a must-see. 8.9/10.
