April and the Twisted World

I(This film is billed in English as April and the Extraordinary World but Twisted is used in subtitle.)

I don't watch many family-friendly animated adventure films.  I had too look back to 2007's The Girl Who Leapt Through Time to find one that was worthy of the genre.  And now this.  Scientists have disappeard, leaving the world stuck in the steampunk era.  Endless war is waged for trees to fuel the charcoal machines.

I wish they had used a crisper animated style so as to better illustrate the technology of the steampunk world, but the story and characters were superb.  Mild violence would yield a PG rating but otherwise family friendly.
