It is always great to see a new animation done in good old stop-motion technique. Especially when its quality is really high, and the concept itself feels fresh. HIDARI (Pilot Film) is that kind of animated project. Hidari Pilot Film's length is short, as you'd expect from a pilot movie. Yet, it manages to tell a nice story involving its main character, Jingoro Hidari, a legendary Japanese craftsman from the Edo period. Although more importantly, it looks polished enough to make the audience excited about the feature-length version of that film that is to be released in the future. As a pilot version of a movieshould do.nnHigh animation quality combined with unique concept (samurai stop-motion movie, with characters made of wood and animated frame by frame) makes this pilot pleasant to watch. I highly recommend checking it out and watch for the upcoming full-length feature version of HIDARI movie. With such stellar production quality and already a grand looking pilot movie, I can only imagine how great might be the full version.
