If you want to cry, this is the movie to watch. It is so beautifully written. I do have one complaint though and that is about the father character. I felt like the writers could've given him a better death. But a single mother uprooting…

A beautiful film that can be read in many ways: about immigration, mixed parentage, coming of age, and single parenting, to name a few.

This one took a while to get going.. the opening 25 minutes or so that dealt with the love story between the university student and a literal wolf-man was very cliched and schmaltzy. But once she moved out to the countryside with her…

Everytime I think of this movie I am brought back to the severely awkward moment when she is in bed with this wolf man, and he tenderly reaches out with his wolf hand...THAT IS LIKE TWICE THE SIZE OF HER FACE and then his wolf face comes…

I found the plot of this film to be very moving but very odd. I can't say it really gripped me, but the animation was remarkably beautiful and it was worth the watch just for that.

Wolf Children is a bridge between 2-D animation and 3-D "live action" (sic), seamlessly blending the best of hand drawing and photo realism. It's a coming of age story that both children and adults can enjoy, but unusually focuses on the…

Would you like to cry tears of joy and also sadness? Then this is the film for you. And the detailed, beautiful animation will make you swoon and even if you aren't part wolf or single mom, you will completely relate to what every single…

The movie “Wolf Children” is a wonderful movie with great detail and animation. The animation of this movie was outstanding and is very similar to the animation of many anime movies. However, the animation of some characters and…

One of many animated films I like, that portrays how important family is, and the growth of how much it can influence you as a kid to adult hood. Finding meaning in your own roots.

My wife and I both felt this was an all ages family friendly movie. There is one scene in which a woman who is subtly hinted as being naked is shown kissing a wolf-man. It is the type of scene that a 5 year old will not even blink an eye…

This is such a beautiful film, a true pleasure to watch. The artists captured nature in such a real way-from a gathering cumulus cloud to the rain pouring off rooftops. It was like watching an animated fairytale painting. And the…

This is such a heartwarming story, even for a person that enjoys Hellsing and Monster as her anime of choice. The soundtrack is so charming and there's equal parts adorable laughs and tear-jerking moments coupled with beautiful animation.

A touching story about family, choosing one's path in life, community, and love.

An absolutely heartwarming movie. Both myself and my Husband found ourselves smiling at the truth of it. Raising children has its joy and heartbreak, and this film definitely captures both. I was crying at how similar the children were to…

I absolutely adored it! It was so sweet and happy and tragic all at the same time! I loved how it showed the bond and strength of family and how to let go and follow your own pathways. Very sweet. It made my heart sigh in happiness ;)

Awesome movie ! I could keep watching it over and over again.

This is for sure, one of my favourites now. The character development was a bit shallow due to the length of the film, but how much detail they put in the film was amazing. I would definitely watch this movie again.

I loved this film. I watched it on a whim and fell in love with in the first 20 minutes. It may sound cheesy but I started watching this film in a bad mood and by the end I felt like things were going to be okay.

A story with such a ridiculous premise should not be able to be as touching as this film is. In fact, it has one of the most heart wrenching scenes I have seen in a long time. A meditation on family, growing up, and finding your place in…
