Our own 0–100 rating, built from five aspects: art, character, story, the sensory experience and how well a film rewatches.

The visual craftsmanship of the film is frequently praised for its smooth animation, detailed textures, and polished CGI. Reviewers note the high level of detail in hair, skin, and action choreography, comparing it favorably to regional standards.
