AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

vibespidersstudios This film is very gorgeous of its unsettling themes of Gothic, and horror. The animation is very different than most animation films that I've seen because for most of the movie it just a silhouette. However they put the details of buttons on their clothes to recognized class. Our main character, Jasper Morello's clothing is very nice and the audience knows that he is intelligent because of his career of being a geographic. However at the beginning of the film, he feels unhappy of one little mistake during one of his explorations leads one of the crew members died. This film made me feel for the main character a lot and he cares about the people of his city that he lives in. I can't say that much of the climax but I have to say that it is very creepy and gets into the monster horror element of the story. And it is something that first time audience has to experience first. My only complains about the film is the story is just narrative driven by at the end of the film someone finds his journal and reads it because my theory suggest that Jasper's city that he lives in no longer exists because of the plague has already decreased the human population. And after a long period of time, someone found the journal and reference the title of the film. That he is a "mysterious geographic" and his explorations. And that is what I believe this is the whole point of the title of the film, and the last of the human population that found his journal use that to cure the plague that spread in Jasper's world.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) I imagine this must be a feast for navigators or people working in the aviation industry a lot. I thought that the animation, some kind of shadow figure depiction, was quite unique and despite having seen a truly huge quantity of animated movies, I'm not sure if I ever came across something similar. However, it's a style I have difficulties appreciating. I like black and white films, also in animation (and it almost was with a few exceptions like the blood) and the style certainly fit the very bleak atmosphere appropriately, but somehow it's not my cup of tea.The main character (voiced by Joel Edgerton, who recently starred as Tom Buchanan in a new version of The Great Gatsby) narrates his travel with a group of seafarers who run into complications and end up on a mysterious island where they encounter even more mysterious creatures which end up having a huge impact on the group's travels and lives.This short film is worth checking out, at least the first couple minutes, as I'm sure if you are more fond of the style than I am it can make for quite a haunting watch.

Rectangular_businessman I consider "The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello" to be a fairly impressive short at every single level, which not only has a beautiful animation style but also a rich and fascinating plot.Visually speaking, The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello" is flawless, having a magnificent atmosphere and stylish designs, with a visual aesthetic heavily influenced by the works of Lotte Reiniger. The result is in my opinion, simply breathtaking.The story takes cues from the literary works of Jules Verne and Gothic fiction the 18th century, resulting in something quite dark but captivating at the same time, which never fails to the amaze the viewer. It could be sad, even slow at moments, but for me, it never stops being interesting.From beginning to the end, "The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello" shows a brilliance that hardly could be achieved by other films that use the Steampunk elements in a shallow manner.

kerecsen This flick has just the perfect blend of experimental ideas, an interesting story and meticulous animation work. The creators opted to use a 3D-flattened-to-silhouette animation technique, which is quite unique and hard to describe. Suffice to say that it works well to emphasize the mood of the story. Oh, and it also looks absolutely stunning...Jasper Morello is a navigator on an airship, who gets a chance to help save his wife, as well as humanity from a plague, by venturing to unknown territory. His Verne-like trip takes him to strange lands and strange creatures...I don't want to give too much away, so I'll just say that you should go check it out (or at least the trailer at www.jaspermorello.com).
