Ernest & Celestine review

Posted : 4 years, 1 month ago on 2 March 2020 06:13

Esta es una película bastante simple en concepto y ejecución, que logra bastante bien todo lo que se propone, siendo una película conmovedora, simpática y divertida.
Los personajes principales, Ernest y Celestine no son realmente complejos, pero son buenos, están bien caracterizados y me gusta su desarrollo y su relación a lo largo del filme. Estos dos se complementan bastante bien y es agradable verlos convivir.
A parte de esto, la animación es realmente buena. Un estilo que se asemeja a pinturas en acuarela con contornos dibujados. Realmente se ve excelente, la animación es increíble.
Por otro lado, la película es una de las típicas obras en las que dos personas de distinto grupo, raza, especie o cultura se juntan, formando un conflicto entre las personas de ambos bandos. Una historia sobre la discriminación y el racismo claramente.
Sin embargo, la película no sermonea con su mensaje en contra del racismo, y de hecho, no muestra a la gente que discrimina como satanás encarnado o personas realmente malévolas. Al final del día, las autoridades quieren atrapar a Ernest y a Celestine porque, de hecho, sí cometieron crímenes, y el hecho de que sean de una especie diferente es un bonus que añade a los motivos para atraparlos.
La película no da un mensaje general del tipo "discriminación mala, todos somos iguales", dando más bien elementos para que el espectador reflexione sobre el tema de la discriminación y teniendo más un mensaje individualista, en donde no se aboga por no discriminar, si no más bien por valorar a una persona por sus acciones, más que por su apariencia, cultura o "raza".
De este modo, puedo concluir que Ernest y Celestine es una muy buena película, con un bonito mensaje, buenos personajes, excelente animación y muy buena para los niños.

Ernest & Celestine review

Es una de esas historias donde dos personajes cuya naturaleza debería ser ser enemigos terminan por convivir y tomarse cariño mutuamente, hechas para evitar actos de discriminación entre los niños. Debo decir que aunque la trama pueda parecer algo gastada tiene un par de giros de tuerca interesantes que sumados a lo bonita que resulta la ilustración y animación hacen que sea bastante recomendable para niños y adultos.

Ernest & Celestine

Posted : 5 years, 7 months ago on 29 August 2018 07:01

There’s all the ingredients for something twee – a storybook aesthetic, a curmudgeon and an orphan bonding, and it’s based on a series of Belgian children’s books – yet Ernest & Celestine is a warm, lovely little piece of misfits bonding over their shared love of art. They operate outside of two oppressing societies, and the peaceful idle seems manufactured straight from Celestine’s own drawings and paintings. It’s a sneaky little knockout.

 

In this world brown bears populate the earth while their enemies, mice (just go with it), live underneath in the sewers. The anthropomorphic citizens of both worlds have a distrust of each other and demand that rigged order by enforced at all times. Why exactly? Who knows, but it’s not like the bears eat the mice, and the mice have a symbiotic relationship to the bears. Or, well, their teeth at any rate.

 

Yes, I said their teeth. Ernest & Celestine has some incredibly odd story beats and details. The quirk is really garnishing on the main course, the rich emotional vibrancy and artistic expressions we witness blossom when the two remove themselves from both societies and hide away from it all. The higher powers will demand a return to the established order, but Ernest & Celestine is a zippy, smart little movie that will not restore things to how they were but build something new, better, and more hopeful from its ashes.

 

Ernest & Celestine is a thorough delight, a whimsical, deeply felt animated movie that keeps the simplicity of its style and applies to its narrative structure. There’s more elliptical storytelling here than out-and-out narrative push, thank god. It creates several open moments for comedic gold, quiet reflection, terror or suspense, or touching little interactions between characters.

 

We need more films like this.

A true friendship can break all the bars.

An OSCAR nominee in the category of best animation feature. The cutest animation which gave the experience of seeing a Japanese anime similar to from the Ghibli studio. The characters are very adorable, especially both the Ernest and Celestine. After praising the technicians I mean the illustrator I must compliment the voice renders. Whenever I hear Celestine saying 'Ernest, Ernest' I just fall in love because it was sexy. I know French language itself a seductive.

No age group limited to enjoy this animation. From 6 year-old kid to 60 year-old and beyond that can have a great time with it. A simple animation with a good message story. Probably you will come to know what kinda movie is this if you have seen 'Stormy Night' and 'Ratatouille'. A tale about the unlikely friendship between two different living creatures.

It all begins with a young little mouse who got a different opinion on the creatures that live above their world. The earth's surface was ruled by the big bad bears and that is what beneather believe. Between these two world a new friendship bloom from nowhere. But both the societies denies it so the two must protect each other and run for their life. Instead, they need to prove it can be possible and harmless. So they have to take the advantage of the such circumstances and how it can be done is the rest.



The character Ernest was lazy, but tough and Celestine is very active, but sensitive in matters. The friendship between them was very well told, in an enchanting way. I liked the replacement of bear in the place of humans. Otherwise, our people think they are genius to find similarity between this and 'Ratatouille'.

Earlier I was very, very disappointed for ditching 'Monsters University' over crap movie 'Despicable Me 2'. I will be so happy if 'The Wind Rises' or this movie wins the OSCAR. But Americas own 'Frozen' will be a strong contender for the honour.

Finally, I retire for now by saying it is a must see movie, especially if you are an animation movie fan. I truly wanted it not to end, in the world at certain point everything must end and so it is against my will.
