Animation, 19th Century, Exploration, Coming of Age

Absolutely beautiful film with a unique story. I didn't really know what to expect and was truly surprised. This is the only animated film that I can think of that tells the story of arctic exploration and growing up. And it has a female main character! But the imagery of ice sheets, frozen ships, the dangers of travel in the North, etc. is all stunning. This was simply enchanting.
