Almost like a lesson on cathedrals for precocious children.

Whenever I travel, I adore visiting cathedrals-and have seen them in several countries. So, when I saw this show about cathedrals on Netflix, it's no surprise I decided to rent it. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like the program was as good or as informative as I expected. Part of this was because, at times, the show seemed almost like one intended for kids. That's because much of it actually consists of cartoons--and rather poorly animated ones at that. Additionally, the show turned out to be just about French cathedrals--and I was hoping it would visit more than just a few from one country. Overall, a program that is very uneven--educational and stuffy at times (and I like that) and filled with cartoons and stuff that just seemed very dated and out of place.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
