Twice Upon a Time

About This Movie

Twice Upon a Time is this quirky blend of animation and adventure that feels both nostalgic and a bit surreal. The Murkworks, where nightmares are brewed, has this wonderfully grim atmosphere, contrasting sharply with the bright, whimsical Frivoli. The pacing is unique – it takes its time to build the world, but once it gets rolling, you’re on a lively ride with Ralph and Mumford, two underdogs trying to thwart Synonamess Botch's sinister plans. The practical effects give it a distinct handmade charm, like you're watching something that defies the usual animation conventions of the era. The character designs are a bit off-kilter, but that adds to the oddball appeal. It’s one of those films that leaves you pondering its themes of dreams and fears long after the credits roll.
