I really liked it. Usually not a fan of western animation, but they captured the European vibe and mixed it well with futurism. It clearly has some messaging behind, it's not preachy but endearing.
I wrote about this film for the Ignyte-winning, Hugo-winning blog Nerds of a Feather: http://www.nerds-feather.com/2026/02/film-review-arco.html
"Arco" is an animated film that definitely has a certain Studio Ghibli aesthetic, but it can’t compete with its Japanese counterpart in terms of substance. Above all, the time travel plot is never really surprising. In the end, you get exactly what you expect. That said, it's a charming little story told with the help of a great visual style. I wasn't really blown away by the film, though.
I'm a fan of any film where future fashion involves bodysuits. 2025 (98th) Academy Award nominations: Best Animated Feature
