L'immaginario

I heard about this movie a couple of days ago and I decided to give it a watch, knowing nothing about the plot and I will say that this movie was amazing.

Positives for The Imaginary (2024): First of all, being that this is an anime fantasy movie, you know that the animation in this movie is going to look gorgeous especially given that it's hand-drawn animation and this type of animation is my personal favorite. I loved how the world of Imaginaries was being visualized in this movie and in a year where there have been three movies about imaginary friends with Blumhouse's Imaginary and IF, this movie stands out as being the best out of these three movies. I loved all of the characters in the movie and I cared about the journey that these Imaginaries go on. Honestly, watching this movie made me feel like a kid again and all of the emotions that come with that are phenomenal.

Mixed for The Imaginary (2024): The way that the plot plays out is very predictable and you know exactly how the conflict is going to be resolved by the end of the runtime, but thankfully I was enjoying my time of being emersed in this world.

Overall, The Imaginary (2024) is one of the most splendid animated movies that I've watched in a while and that's saying a lot given that I'm an adult. However, I still continue to get a kick out of watching animated movies and that's not going to change for me at all.
