It’s a Heart!

About This Movie

So, 'It’s a Heart!' is an interesting piece from 1980 directed by Joel Herron. It's animated, which is always a plus for those of us who appreciate the art form. The story is narrated by the Tin Woodman, who guides us through the circulatory system in a way that feels both whimsical and educational. The pacing is... well, it meanders a bit, but in a charming way that fits the fantasy genre. The atmosphere has a kind of cozy feel, with practical effects that have a handmade quality—definitely a product of its time. The character designs are distinct, and the voice performances lend an extra layer of warmth. It’s not your typical animation fare, but that’s what makes it stand out in a collection.

Interesting narrative style with a focus on education.Unique character design and practical effects.A cozy atmosphere that suits its fantasy themes.
