The TVI Take

Stop-motion adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel about a girl who discovers a too-perfect parallel world. Genuine cognitive demands from the symbolic narrative and the slow revelation of danger.

Teaches children about the difference between what's comfortable and what's real. Visually stunning and genuinely unsettling — respects children enough to be scary.
