"Anna and the Moods" is an Icelandic animated short film from 2006, so this one had its 10th anniversary last year. According to IMDb, the main language here is Icelandic too, but the version I watched was in English, probably a dub. The director of these 26 minutes is Gunnar Karlsson and he is not really enjoying a prolific career. The writer Sjón Sigurdsson, however, is and he scored an Oscar nomination in the music department and that was for a film starring Björk and with this one here being from Iceland, of course Björk also voices the title character, even if Anna is a girl. Damon Albarn from Blur is in it too. Anyway, the negative deal-breaker here is the animation. It just is not only not beautiful to watch, but pretty ugly at times and that is a disappointment. Besides, some of the voice actors are not doing a good job either I must say and the consequence of these letdowns resulted in me not caring much for the story eventually. It may look a bit like Coraline, but that is just until you really watch it. Final positive aspect to mention here is Terry Jones' narration. Had everybody been on the level of the Monty Python member, then this would have been a much better movie. The way it actually turned out, it is a bit of a disappointment. Don't watch.
