The Tube with a Hat (2007)

There's no hiding the horrors of war in this inspiring story of survival

This list was made with the intention of celebrating the craft. I love seeing more women of colour on this list than before and more newcomers on the scene as well!

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.

The film basically says she was a lost cause from the start. We don't get a sense of who Marilyn was.

The heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom make their way to the big screen in this animated movie.
