Poupelle of Chimney Town Trailer
As evident from the trailer, the film is absolutely beautiful. It’s a magical world with artistry that really brings it to life. Tony Hale as Poupelle also seems like perfect casting. Personally, what I find fascinating is the beauty of the town. Lubicci and Poupelle’s journey obviously takes to the sky, and from that height looking down the town could reflect the beauty of the stars in the night sky. Though it would be a downer for Lubicci to not actually see the stars. But the film looks to have a lot more in store than just the city and the stars.
