Anina

The main character's biggest issue is her name. Her name is Anina Yatay Salas and consists of three palindromes (words that read the same way backward). Anina is a pleasant surprise and an interesting journey into the head of a ten-year-old girl and her problems. Plus, the headmistress invents an interesting punishment for her after she fights a classmate, in the form of a black sealed envelope that she cannot open for a whole week. This movie is a pleasant surprise, if only because this perspective seems very pleasant and, more importantly, quite real. Anina is an ordinary ten-year-old child who can talk back, sometimes be rude, and sometimes just plain naughty. I liked the animation quite a bit, it was interesting and even quite likable, and I also liked the change of style during the sixth birthday part. The soundtrack was also nice, and the overall feel of this movie was enjoyable. Sure, I saw the punchline coming. However, even that could not ruin the good feeling I got from this movie. 7.7/10.
