Background: 10/10
The artistry is amazing. The movie is directed by Naohisa Inoue who did the "Whisper of the Heart" backgrounds on the fantasy scenes (which has a similar feel). His paintings commonly take place in the land of Iblard (hence the name). Since he uses his actual paintings the backgrounds look great. An additional bit of info, it looks like his technique is similar to Sachiko's in "From Up On Poppy Hill" http://www.iblard.com/english/draw.html
Animation 2/10
To give the paintings life water effects are added over and other little things, the problem is everything sticks out like a sore thumb. Also they make all the paintings move to

Iblard Jikan (Iblard Time in English), is an interesting experience. The best way to describe Iblard Jikan is that it's like looking through a window into another world, and getting a brief glimpse of the potential beauty that the world your looking at offers.
There isn't much to talk about in Iblard Jikan, as there is no real plot or characters to speak of, and there isn't really a need for one. The entire short exists just to show a slice of the world it created. What few characters we see are brief cameos by characters from other Ghibli projects that are added into the paintings, ...

The art style is visually nice, from what i hear Ghibili are the go to for film art and even though this is old the detail in the back ground is really amazing. However the animation is a little underwhelming from what i'm used to.
However i'm no art critque so my appreciation is not that developed yet. The story was simple enough to follow along but not that intersting, the hardest thing about getting into this is that there are no spoken lines. It's not a silent film because of the music that accompanies it but the music seemed to almost be the same melody ... Dec 21, 2019
Iblard Time is a collection of paintings set to calming music. I do not like the style of music used, but I like the paintings a lot. The paintings were slightly animated as to tell a story about how the world at that location works. The colours are vibrant and the environments are fascinating to look at. There is a lot of detail in each painting, which is why there are about 5 or 6 to look at over the course of this short movie. This is a good movie to watch for people that appreciate art. You may not enjoy it because there is
