aka
Jack et la Mécanique du Coeur
A year after it's 2013 home country opening, the CGI animated fairytale Jack & The Cuckoo Clock Heart finally saw it's worldwide release. It's co-directed and based off of art-rock act Dionysos' frontman Mathias Malzies' own novella about a boy who has his heart replaced by a cuckoo clock and in turn is burdened by an overly delicate heart that can't fall in love.
It's strikingly animated in such a way it appears more like jittery stop-motion than CGI giving it a very unique look which should attract fans of the Tim Burton and Laika animated films. Malzies' band supplies the bizarre genre-hopping songs that never once distract from the visuals or outstay their welcome. It's a bit of a frightening tragedy for the kids, but the Edward Gorey fans will find it to be an absolute delight.
