    _The Deer King_ is as visually gorgeous as any Studio Ghibli film. While its animation pleases on almost every level, its storytelling and pacing is lacking as the film seems to prioritize monotonous dialogue and petty human squabbling over anything remotely exciting. **Full Review:** https://hubpages.com/entertainment/The-Deer-King-2022-Review-A-Gorgeously-Stale-Animated-Film
