Orphaned and alone except for an uncle, Hugo Cabret lives in the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris. Hugo's job is to oil and maintain the station's clocks, but to him, his more important task is to protect a broken automaton and notebook left to him by his late father. Accompanied by the goddaughter of an embittered toy merchant, Hugo embarks on a quest to solve the mystery of the automaton and find a place he can call home.

I was amazed at the brilliant directorship of this "children's movie" which it is NOT! The use of repeated motifs draws the pieces into a compact whole and cements the major themes in the film. If you haven't seen this...
