Wow... I saw this movie a few weeks ago when a friend interviewed Nina Paley and she gave him a copy of the DVD. She was lamenting the fact that she couldn't get funding to buy rights to use the great 20s music in the film. What a pleasant surprise to see this turn up on HN!

Incidentally, I saw this the day after watching Coraline in 3D, and I liked Sita MUCH better. The animation, graphics, "multithreaded" storyline, and music are captivating. Less can be more (speaking to the complexity of graphics, etc).

I recommend it heartily!

It's true, in fact this is one of the core values that Matt Groening (creator of the Simpsons/Futurama) holds as he's written about before.

It's especially true of 2D (cel) animation.
