Synopsis

In Scotland 1874, Jack is born on the coldest day ever. Because of the extreme cold, his heart stops beating. The responsible midwife in Edinburgh finds a way to save him by replacing his heart with a clock. So he lives and remains under the midwife's protective care. But he must not get angry or excited because that endangers his life by causing his clock to stop working. Worse than that, when he grows up, he has to face the fact he cannot fall in love because that too could stop his delicate heart.

biareisschmidt For those who say "animation is for kids" and "I don't like anime", you should watch this movie. It is not at all sweet and cute like the Disney movies, but manages to touch our hearts as much as any Disney work. The animation is also very beautiful, one of the movie's Strong points, together with the soundtrack. The songs are adorable, and I love how they sing it naturally. In some animations, the songs are a bit forced in (it seems), and there are too many songs. In this movie, the quantity is just right. We struggle with Jack from the very first scene to the very last, since it is easy to sympathize with the chracter - a very well constructed character, in my opinion. I did end up crying a lot at the end, since we really don't see that ending coming. At least I didn't...
anguyen-91260 As others have noted the audience should be for an older audience. It is a unique piece that is highly underrated. The mixture of art, poetry, and music leaves you breathless. The ending leaves one speechless. This truly is a masterpiece.I'd be curious to see how this would perform in Japan as it seems more culturally up their alley in terms of how a mass audience would react to a work such as this.
Irishchatter OK so I decided to pick this movie for the night since I didn't know what to watch in putlocker. Anyways I started playing it and at the beginning, I thought the mother was going to die as it was a pretty cold spot where the midwife lived but it seems she left Jack with her. What a way to start a film eh? So we move on and on, Jack has escaped from the police and is on a train. Then all of a sudden, Jack the ripper comes out of nowhere with a knife and try to kill Jack. Seriously, why the hell did they decide to add him onto this? He pretty much is a pointless character since you really don't see him throughout the movie! For the love of god like! I have to say the music really didn't give me a good vibe or feeling, it sounded like the music was from a pub or from out on the street. I felt it the whole soundtrack should've been done more better. It really sounded rubbish like!I wouldn't call this the best dark movie ever and definitely kids would be bored or even scared of this!
peggytoes This animation is definitely unique and different from any other animation I've seen! It is an artistic masterpiece, has a very clever story, unique music that I totally did not expect, and of course just absolutely wonderful animation! I do highly recommend this movie for the age group of 13 on up. I don't believe younger children will understand the story line.I'm an artist and LOVE to see different types of animation as it helps me to sculpt and create differences.Jack and The Cuckoo Clock Heart isn't as "dark" as some of Tim Burton's works, but still has a little gloomy feel to it. At first I wasn't sure I liked it, but seeing it through ... I LOVE IT!
