A collection of short stories from 10 of the world’s cutting-edge graphic artists ought to be more satisfying than this imaginatively made but hardly frightening compendium.
It’s recommended by no less than Guillermo del Toro as “images that will slice your eye and nest there for ever” — not quite, I’m afraid. But these vaguely nightmarish, sometimes semi-abstract dreamscapes from artists such as Blutch, Charles Burns and Pierre Di Sciullo at least show us that hand-drawn animation is far from done yet, technically and emotionally, despite the power of Pixar.
