Arco
Directed by Ugo Bienvenu
Ten-year-old Arco lives in a far future. During his first flight in his rainbow suit, he loses control and falls into the past. Iris, a girl his age from 2075, comes to his rescue and tries by any means to help send him back to his own era. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Def one of the best-looking animated films of the decade. Bienvenu devoted years to developing ARCO's visuals and his labors paid off bigly. But the movie would've benefitted if more time was spent coming up with a story worthy of those visuals as ARCO suffers from being too much of an E.T. clone

positive · AI labelView post →If Elio or Zootopia 2 won, there’d be plenty of people saying any of the other nominees was robbed. I can’t speak for Arco or Little Amelie yet, but frankly, I would’ve been cool with either Disney-distributed movie winning, just as I am with KPDH winning.
