Excellent addition to the Star Wars films. More story and character interest than other performances and history.

Wonderfully complex animated film. Best Animated Feature Film Oscar by a long shot. No one but Miyazaki’s work and a few Pixar and Laika films are the same league.

Totally deserving of its Best Picture Oscar and Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Mahershala Ali. Vigo Mortenson had my vote for Best Actor at the time, but I had yet to see Bohemian Rhapsody and Rami Malek’s work.
