    Which came first? Upside Down or Patema Inverted? An episodic version of Patema streamed in 2012, the year the live action Kirsten Dunst movie came out, but animation takes a long time to make, probably longer than even a special effects picture. In any case, Patema Inverted doesn't come as cheesy as the other film, and flips the tables by having the "inverted world" not in the sky facing the other, but underground as a kind of reflection. They are therefore hidden from one another. A boy from a tightly controlled fascist state thus falls (ha) for Patema, an all-too inquisitive girl from the more chaotic underground. They become enemies of the state and through their escapes and adventures, we learn the history of this topsy-turvy world (which gives an acceptable scientific explanation, unlike Upside Down's fairy tale), which is so clouded in legend, it's hard to really trust. It's cute, and the choreography - how to make gravity work both ways correctly on screen - is impressive. 2 months 3 weeks ago
