Title: This is an excellent film that just happens to be animated.
Product review: "Rail of the Star" is based on the true story of a Japanese family caught behind Communist lines in Korea at the end of WWII, as told by their young daughter. The animation is first-rate and the writing is superb; if made in the US, this TV Tokyo production would have nailed down an Emmy, or had a solid shot at an Oscar.Parents: please note that, although there are no actual combat scenes, this is a movie about war, and very bad things happen to some of the charcters. Young kids may need you to watch it with them, and preschoolers probably shouldn't see it at all.This film is especially recommended for schools and libraries.
