A good movie

Posted : 8 years, 4 months ago on 6 November 2015 01:38

I always wondered if this movie was really succesful abroad. Anyway, I remember it very well when it was released in France, it was a big critical and commercial success at the time. After hearing a lot of great things about the damned thing, I was quite eager to check it out and I have to admit that it really deserved its stellar reputation. Indeed, it is something completely different then anything you might have ever seen coming from the US or Japan and, therefore, it was really refreshing. Considering the story itself, even though it was charming and entertaining enough, I had my doubts. I mean, it seemed to be rather oriented towards the young kids but, above all, I really wonder if the African people would actually identify with this tale and those characters or maybe it was just a Western point-of-view on their culture. Still, I definitely enjoyed how the whole thing looked and the general vibe. Surprisingly, it took them 7 years to come up with a sequel which was not bad but still a slight step-down from this movie. Anyway, to conclude, even though I donโ€™t it is actually a real masterpiece, it was a very original animated feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
