BIG BANDS AND BE BOP
Today's movie was the Oscar nominee animated film feature from Spain
This is not your kids' cartoon. A biopic designed for adults, it is sexy and great to listen to.
For those of us who have a bit more years on us, like the titled couple, the return of this great music is a real treat.
And the story line with the wonderful drawings of Havana, New York City and Las Vegas as it was in this time are an antidote to feeling as though those times are gone. They live in this film. And one of the points in the story is that comebacks are possible at any age as younger people grab hold of the good old stuff and remake it in a new image.
The colors are vibrant and the characters convincing. The voices are true. It is great stuff.
I would not mind seeing it again so that makes it a 4 out of Netflix5.
