"The Man Who Walked Between the Towers" is a strange subject matter for an animated film for kids. It's based on the Caldecott Award winning book which itself is based on the real life exploits of Phillipe Petit. I say strange because I am pretty sure most parents would not be thrilled to see their kids to grow up to be tightrope walkers. Plus, technically speaking, what Petit did was illegal.
This short film is about a tightrope walk Petit made in the 1970s between the two towers of the World Trade Center. In fact, that pretty much IS the film.
The animation is nice and appears hand drawn and the story is, amazingly, narrated by Jake Gyllenhaal. Overall, worth seeing but not a films for small kids and I am not sure how many adults would watch it either.
