A bad movie

This movie seemed to be really lame and, to be honest, I wonder how I actually ended up watching the damned thing. Anyway, when I was a kid, there was this show called ‘Le manège enchanté’ on TV but even though I have to admit that it was a pretty cute and harmless puppet show, it was aimed obviously towards the very small children.

There are flaws still with the film. The plot is very thin, and sometimes is made up of disconnected scenes. The script has some knowing lines but there are parts where the jokes only come across as average. Also it is a little too short so while the characters still maintain their simple charm, they weren't developed properly.

That said there are a vast majority of things that compensate. For one thing, the visuals are absolutely striking and colourful. Then there is the brilliant soundtrack, that is sunny and really pleas” read more
