Yes, I enjoyed it. Even though I had no idea what was going on. Definitely encroaches on Ghibli territory but does enough to differentiate by drawing upon the rich Chinese Zhuangzi mythology and veering away from clear storytelling. Miraculously beautiful and bursting with detail - but sometimes a bit stiff for something attempting to express so much fluidity. I like it when the dolphin/narwhal/unicorn headbutts the snake. Also, a dolphin is not a fish.

2023Immersive and visually striking nosedive; chasing a creative spark to destructive ends. Lovely stuff. Just about captures how gruelling, emotionally draining and gory the animation process can be.

1985I would love to have this poster on my wall, as a kind of constant reminder to never watch the movie again.
