About This Movie

So, Rob Roy from '87 is an interesting piece, right? It's animated, which is kind of unusual for the subject matter – Scottish folklore and all that. The animation style has a certain charm, though you might not call it cutting-edge. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it really captures the essence of Rob Roy MacGregor’s struggle against the upper class. You feel his determination and the weight of his choices. The use of practical effects in the animation adds a unique touch, giving it a textured feel. The performances, while animated, convey a depth that really resonates with the themes of honor and survival. It's a distinct retelling you might not stumble upon often.
