//"500 Days Of Summer": visually very stylish!

I love the soundtrack, the non-linear setup, some brilliant quotes and the beautiful use of animation with simple line drawings.


My favourite scene is the song and dance number involving Tom singing about Summer, while dancing through the street with an animated bluebird. (This scene reminded me of the Disney film Mary Poppins)
