Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

rlaris The animation was awful, the actors could of been better (that bootleg Kate Winslet got on my nerves). Lang Lang was the highlight of the whole film (give him his own film..please). The voice over of Fred was ridiculous (huff). That Jane should of been at school, plus why was her mum American? The angles need to be worked ( more Lang Lang). Please don't make another one. Is Fred transgender? P.S The story didn't make sense. Lang Langs backstory was utterly heartbreaking was wasn't he the lead. Maybe more dialogue for Fred? Give Lang Lang an Oscar. Wasn't very realistic, even for a children's film.The audio at times was either too loud or quiet.The story was extremely hard to follow, had no clue what was going on.Not a recommended watch.

duzeska Watching The Flying Machine was a truly unique experience and it will probably be the same for viewers in any age group. The first part of the film, which is a stop-motion animation with no dialogues, just the music of Chopin, is a small masterpiece. I can just imagine the incredible amount of work it must have taken to create a world so complex and full of beauty using puppets and I'm very impressed. The second, live action part, is less dreamy and more energetic, as we view the adventures of over-worked mom Georgie and her two kids: Fred and Jane, who travel on the flying machine through Europe, following the footsteps of Fredric Chopin. Chopin, who is the key to the film and whose music (performed by Lang Lang) was surprisingly touching and beautiful for me (I never thought I would be into classical music) is not only a musical genius, but an interesting character as well, as we get to know more about him during the film. I think one of the best things about the film is the fact that it can reach so many different viewers: animation fans, musical fans, families, those who want to learn about Chopin and classical music as well as those who dream about adventures. Go and see yourself!

dzeus91 Hi, in my opinion that kind of movie does not exist yet in film world.It's really interesting for some reasons: Stereo 3D looks amazing (I do not know, how it works, but it is like I'm the part of the film world) Stop Motion - the best, that I have ever saw Heather - and her role - you can see the woman, that is working too much , see her problems - you can compare it to many many families Chopin's music - there is no other artist like Chopin.My kid also very liked it - specially balloons and the flying machine.What can I say, go and try. :)

lucy-v-peck Superb animation set to Chopin music played by Lang Lang. Anyone, adult or child, who likes the original Fantasia will love this. The variety of animation is delightful and the three dimensional presentation heightens the excitement of the story which takes one from a nostalgically pre-modern Poland to high-tech London. My only reservation is some of the casting on the non-animated characters but this does not detract from the central story which is wonderfully moving and highly relevant to the situation in the world today, featuring an economic migrant father and a daughter left behind in Poland. The short films that are incorporated are varied and charming.
