Saw Sky Blue at a Korean film festival in Brooklyn a few months ago.  It was wonderful animation, and had some great ideas--especially Ecoban itself, the living city.

Did feel the story got pretty thin, especially as the love triangle fell into some common plotting grooves.   In my opinion!   Maybe I'm spoiled by fare like "Ghost in the Shell"  and "Princess Mononoke."

Yeah, the story can't compare to the likes of Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke and you can't leave out Spirited Away.

But what I enjoyed and appreciated (being that I work at an environmental news magazine) was the backstory: environmental degradation due to human activity and the plight of an underclass fighting against eco-injustice. And it was nice to see the huge windmill farms!

Has anyone else seen Sky Blue? If so, your thoughts?

How about other movies (heck, I'll even take television shows) that touch upon enviro concerns -- do you have a fave?
