I haven't been watching much animation these days but I'm glad I watched Persepolis over the weekend. It is certainly one of the more cool-unique-looking cartoons I've seen and it is an excellent movie to boot. It is based upon Marjane Satrapi's(she also co-directs the film) autobiographical graphic novel of the same name about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is definitely worth the rent.

Sorrel and I bought this, and so far I have tried to watch it twice and have fallen asleep both times. Sorrel watched it all the way through and said that it was very powerful and moving, and depite urging me to watch it declines from watching it again herself.

So I can't watch it when she's about, and we live in a one bed flat. So far, the oppourtunity to watch it has arisen! Have started to read the book though.
