White Fang (2019)

(dir. Alexandre Espigares) This is a breath of fresh Yukon air compared to most animated films for children–no rushed plotting, comic-relief characters, talking animals, or mediocre songs. It’s beautifully animated, tells an interesting historical tale, and is a perfect eighty-five minutes long. After suffering through the entirely unnecessary Mufasa in the cinema yesterday, watching this with my five year-old today was sweet relief. ★★★★☆
