In this animated environmental parable, we find a people living in harmony with nature, until carelessness leads to the ravens’ revenge. We follow a boy’s courageous journey to the spirit world to find the only one who can save his village from the resulting darkness—the Lord of the sky. An artistic unity of form and content, Lord of the Sky is a dazzling combination of 3-D models, puppets, special effects and cut-out paper animation. Its intricate, beautifully rendered drawings reflect the natural environment and cultural heritage of the Pacific Northwest. The film speaks strongly of the need for ecological balance in the world.

This is a nice animated parable about life and the consequences of taking more than you need. Seemed appropriate for what we’re experiencing during the coronavirus lockdown.
Neat blend of animation styles, too.
