‘Arco’ Review: Natalie Portman Produces French Time Traveling Rainbow-Colored ‘Toon With Climate Change Message And ‘E.T.’ Influences – Annecy Animated Festival
A review of 'Arco' which premiered at Cannes in May and Now is at Annecy. Animated Tale of futuristic time travel focuses on young boy from future.
Even more to the point they may sense a successor to a sleeper hit that also initially debuted in Cannes last year, the miraculous Latvian ‘toon, Flow which not only was nominated as Best International Film (a first for that country) but actually won Best Animated Feature over heavyweight competition from behemoths Disney/Pixar, Dreamworks, and Netflix. This is not to say Arco does not have much to offer, it does, especially with a warning about the evils of climate change as we see the results of earth-shattering natural events in the future via time traveling people able to visit past eras and errors of human neglect so they don’t repeat the same. Plotwise our young 10 year old title star’s time tripping parents and older sister return from their latest visit to the past, while Arco (Oscar Tresanini) could not go as no one under 12 is allowed to take this kind of retro voyage.
