Wonderful Days (also known as Sky Blue) is a South Korean animated science fiction film, released in 2003, written and directed by Kim Moon-saeng. It features backdrops rendered using photo-realistic computer-generated imagery, comparable to those in the film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, along with the use of highly detailed models for some of the backdrops into which the cel animated characters were then animated. However, convincing CGI animation of humans (especially human movement) was not attempted. The backgrounds in the film were shot with traditional motion control techniques, then processed to look like CG. The vehicles were all rendered, and the characters were cel animated.
Plot:
Wonderful Days is set in 2142. Environmental pollution and catastrophes has led to an almost-breakdown of human civilization. A technologically advanced city named Ecoban was built by an elite people that harvest energy from the DELOS System, which utilizes pollution in a carbonite catalyzed reaction to generate power. Extraction operations of the carbonite are carried out by those who live in the wasteland outside the safety of city. Among them is an enigmatic young man known as Shua (Marc Worden), whose presence after a 10 year absence from the city lands him back into a love triangle with his childhood friend, Jay (Cathy Cavadini), and her superior, Ecoban security commander Cade (Kirk Thornton).
The film results in Jay choosing Shua over Cade and destroying the thick clouds over Ecoban resulting in the blue sky showing through. In the US and British versions of the film the end shot is of a kite flying free in the sky.
The movie ultimately deals with themes on modern issues such as environmental destruction, pollution and class struggle, the latter of which echoes the 1927 silent science-fiction film Metropolis.
