8/10
A small jewel of animation and story--telling

Warning: Spoilers
WONDERBIRD, certainly an unbelievably refined cartoon, drawn in a deliciously old—fashioned way, and sensationally old—fashioned in almost any respect, takes place in a kingdom ruled by a mean and heinous monarch; accordingly, the kingdom, or at least what we see—the surroundings of the king's palace, seems devoid, uninhabited.

A few inhabitants there are—away from the Sun—in the withered underground city.

An advice—call it an allegory, call it a parable, only do not call it a fable.

Because IMDb encourages prolixity, and maybe for other reasons as well, I will add that this cartoon is the work of the great Paul Grimault.
