While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I love absolutely everything about it. The tail, the Animation style and most the Music.<3
It's different and lets a lot of space to interpret and use your own imagination.

While the dialogue is a little muddled due to its French and English combination, that seems to be the only flaw of "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart." The animation is simply incredible. As George Melies, a character in the story, would put it: "A labor of love down to the last detail!" The characters themselves look like porcelain dolls, and the story is so captivating with its stunning visual effects and dream-like sequences. You are immediately drawn in by the active imagination of the hopeless romantic protagonist, and the struggle he faces while living with a mechanical heart. This film touches upon the same kind of romance as "Moulin Rouge," the stunning aesthetic of "Hugo," and the complexity of ice and love in "Frozen." At first glance it may look silly, but after giving it a chance, I was not disappointed. If you love musicals, animation, and a story that is heartwarming as well as heart wrenching, then you will absolutely love "Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart."

So.. this is an interesting movie. I absolutely get that people find it exciting and different, but for me it lacks heart. If the storyline was better I think it could be great... It has progressive music and animation but that's about it...And it's not, it's really NOT for kids. I just want to say that I'm a young person who doesn't think that kids are too fragile too watch anything but Winnie the pooh, (that's not it). But this movie... It's very dark, it's extremely sexist, there's bullying (extreme), ..SPOILERyeah, and Jack the ripper is in it, singing of how he enjoys slicing up women, both redheads, blondes and brunettes, (all of em should taste some).SPOILER endsI don't know. I think it's just too much. Without any morals or warmth what so ever. So. It's a movie for grown ups. Don't watch it with your kids cause they won't get it at all, and probably end up having some terrible nightmares...

It takes a lot for me to sign up to IMDb and review a movie, but I had bad feelings about this movie from the opening, then stopped watching at 30 minutes in and jumped to the end to see what happens.In summary the movie is about a boy who's mother leaves him, has his heart taken out, told never to fall in love, gets bullied terribly, when he stands up for himself his foster mother gets thrown into prison and dies while he is on the run, and his girlfriend neither loves him or trusts him also leaving him to die. All wrapped in musical numbers where at age 11 he sees a girl for the first time and sings about tearing off her clothes with his teeth. The movie looks pretty. It sounds interesting. But I have fairly low standards and couldn't watch through this tripe. Neither for kids or adults I don't know who the audience is but they are not of this Earth.
