My reaction
Synopsis: the first year of a deer's life
How I saw it: on video (have on VHS), yesterday
Concept: Indifferent. It's a fairly novel idea, but not exactly compelling.
Story: Bad.
Characters: Indifferent.
Dialog: Great.
Pacing: Bad.
Cinematography: Great.
Special effects/design: Great.
Acting: Good.
Music: Indifferent. Not bad songs, but the musical sequences are pointless and boring.
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay). The animation is absolutely amazing - one of the most visually impressive animated films I've ever seen. But there's no story, so it's really boring to watch.  Also, it bothers me that none of the animals in this forest eat each other.
Objective Rating: 2.5/4 (Okay).
