CGiii Comment
An animated, sci-fi, rock musical...with a lesbian love story at its core.
Sounds interesting...alas, it's not.
The animation ranges from the slick to the downright amateur - whoever drew/designed the main characters had a strange sense of beauty...they look bloody awful.
The songs...well, the less said about them, the better.
The ideas all seem to be heavily 'borrowed' from other sci-fi productions...and, the writing doesn't quite scream of professionalism.
As a project it's just too bizarre to comprehend - who was it made for???
Too juvenile for adults, too risque for juveniles.

The(ir) Blurb...
28th century, 200 years after the Great Earth Exodus. Naia, a feisty, young singer/songwriter, falls in love with the beautiful saxophonist Parker in Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons. The two form a band - and now they have to not only make it as musicians but also to fight for their freedom. Dramatically rendered in rich, hand drawn animation, Strange Frame brings us into a world of space pirates, indentured slaves and genetic mutations - infused with music throughout, to create a dreamlike tale unlike anything you've ever seen.
