Captivating in the first few pages
Story follows a young guy who is badly injured in an accident and receives an organ transplant with a ghouls organ. When he recovers from surgery learns that he has now become half ghoul half human and needs to eat human flesh to survive. The set of books follow his journey as he adapts to his new life and increasing powers in a constant battle between ghouls and ghoul hunters..... I won't say anymore so as not to spoil the story, but if you like manga, definitely recommend this boxset. 😊

"Let it go
Let it go ..."

Oh, wait: wrong movie

And therein lies the greatest hurdle (and problem) facing this movie: how to match that Oscar winning 2013 earworm tune from the original?

The answer, quite simply, is that this can't.

That's not for a lack of trying, however, with Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf (who provides the bulk of the comic relief) off on a journey to the mystical forest in the north, and uncovering the truth behind Elsa's powers and their family (and kingdom's) history.

The animation, as ever, is top notch, with a more Autumnal colour palette this time around reflecting the more sombre tone of the film.

"I have to declare an interest here—I was the production designer of the film. Terence Davies takes us on a fictionalized journey through his childhood. There is no story; the film is composed of memories, some long and complicated, some very short, all vivid. A shot onto a carpet in which nothing happens but movements of shadow and sunlight is memorable because so universal; a sailing ship seen in a child’s schoolroom daydream, the tortures of confused guilt, the joys of a close family life, and the loneliness of the outsider are, in one way or another, common to us all. Davies has somehow caught that essence for us."
