The Legend of Ochi

In a remote village on the island of Carpathia, a shy farm girl named Yuri is raised to fear an elusive animal species known as ochi. But when Yuri discovers a wounded baby ochi has been left behind, she escapes on a quest to bring him home.

Ochi prompts one to think, “How did they do that?” only to be even more incredulous when realizing the techniques employed. That’s film sorcery. – Variety

It feels like a family film made by flesh-and-blood people in an era when computers are doing so much of the work. – RogerEbert.com
