I'm surprised Mirrormask (2005) isn't more popular on tumblr. Like what more can you ask for?
Gorgeous and original art and design!
A darkside emo version of the protagonist with a punk haircut!
Cats with creepy little human faces!
These things, which are inexplicably all named Bob (except for one that is named Malcolm)!
Also Neil Gaiman is involved!
If you like fantasy, early CGI, steampunk aesthetics, jazz music, dreamscapes, creative costume design, or generally weird movies then please watch Mirrormask (2005) I need everyone to know about Mirrormask (2005)
