Ainbo - Hüterin des Amazonas

Just will say: the movie is decent to start in the film industry. I dont know why this movie have many hate and bad reviews.

About the jungle life conservation is identical you see in the actuallity, felling trees, wild animals dead, sexual explotation of youngers, well the south american people know it. For me i liked the film, it have a good representation of the amozonian aboriginal people, the spirit of fight they have for the natural conservation life.

To junkmell,

"Ainbo" is not a made up word by removing the 'r' and the 'w' from 'rainbow' though, that would be clever. It's from the Shipibo-Conibo tribe of the Amazon Rainforest in Peru, and it means 'young woman' or 'little girl'. Names have meanings; my full name means 'Beloved Brave Eagle'. Typically, names mean something entirely different. 'Ainbo' is the English version of 'ciba' (wouldn't accept accents for 'c' and 'b'), which I found two references online of women with that name (with the correct accents.) All that took me about 30 minutes to research. Like 'junkmell'; if not a derivative of 'junkmail', and you purposely spelled it that way, then, that's clever since 'junk' is a mixture of objects, and so is 'mell'. You see, names have meanings. 'Nammage' is made up, not by me, though. My nickname is 'Nam' which was taken when I first joined this website 23 years ago so I chose 'Nammage' as a default to 'Nam'. Sometimes there are exceptions.

I don't really have a review; it has excellent animation but that's all it has going for it. Just responding to the above, which I found more interesting than the film.

It could have been much more. Setting was good. The animation was a shame, it has nice pieces but near the end it got terrible and also some pieces the (human)characters were not "flowing" as they should have. However the surroundings and animals were very good. As for the story, it was meh. I thought it would go towards preserving nature in the Amazone or like a Pocahontas kind of Thing. But in the end totally different, but no positive surprise.

That summarizes all. I don't understand how do you spend so much money on an animation while almost utterly failing the storyline, dialogues, and characters.

I caught a test screening of Ainbo in December (the only "test" being a moment of incomplete CGI towards the end), and, while it won't get the attention of kids due to the likelihood of no wide release, it'll probably drop on Netflix.

It's been a few months but I remember a good amount of it, in that while the first act comes off as a near plagiarism of much more well-known Disney films, namely Moana, Frozen and The Lion King, the plot takes its own turn in the second half and stands as more than above average. Its animation quality as well is on par with Disney.

Give it a look when it comes out. It may seem tedious at first but Ainbo is a worthy entry into international animation. 8/10.
