IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Loving Vincent is the world’s first animated film that has been fully painted, and done so in the style of its subject matter Vincent Van Gogh, which not only looks astonishing but should be an absolute must-see for any lovers of the late painter’s works.
