Steamboy (Japan, 2004)

The opening 45 mins of this are absolutely stunning. Brilliant drawing and northern accents. I’d usually prefer to watch anime with the original actors but surely here the authentic (er Canadian Anna Paquin’s accent is wobbly & Patric Stewart is from Mirfield) accents add to the movie. The action may become repetitive but the visuals remain great. Fabulous film. (DVD) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348121/
