Watch this with your parents, they'll love it. It's a wistful, energetic tale of childhood innocence during a period of immense change, and Linklater nails the vibe of youthful exuberance and coming-of-age. This time, it's used to tell a story about his very real childhood growing up in Houston in the late 1960s and a very unreal story about a 10-year-old boy who goes to the moon in a secret NASA program.
Richard Linklater returns to his animation style of choice - rotoscoping, in which film is drawn over frame-by-frame for realistic movement with a dream-like feel - that he used in Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly.
