The story was good but colour in the animation wasn't good... I like the forest part of animation that was very beautiful.

Love the girl face and expression.. Pil adventure 2 waiting for that... Make sure your colour is more vibrant..

This is a very good looking movie, with some great backgrounds and character design. A lot of time and money was spent making a very pretty piece of animation

There's a few times where the scenes play out really well, but herein lies the problem.

The timing is just a little bit off in the whole film. Whether it is the jokes just not landing, or the action scenes just being a little flat, everything just seems a bit off.

The movie suffers as a whole, and the poor timing just makes the whole experience a bit boring.

It had substance, grit and staying power, enough to interest me all the way to the end. Not bad at all.

I have seen so much worse. This film is well worth considering, in my opinion.

An unpretentious and cute French animated film, a children's narrative, politically correct and instructive, colorful, with simple lines, a simple medieval script, as always full of adventures, lots of magic and enchantment, a strong and cunning female character, cute little children fighting against an evil traitor, all the ingredients to please children and adults, made for the whole family...

Lia, orphaned by her mother and father, is a cheerful and courageous girl who wanders the streets of the City of Mist, always accompanied by three pet weasels called Toothy, Fluffy and Fatty. The four survive each day by stealing food here and there and sleeping in any place that provides them with some comfort. For some time now, the kingdom has been ruled by the noble Tristan, a cruel man who transformed Roland, the crown prince, into a galigato (half chicken, half cat). One day, during a raid on the castle's pantry, Lia escapes from the guards after putting on some clothes she found nearby. Dressed like this, she is mistaken for a real princess and accepted by the other nobles. It is then that she decides to seize the opportunity to help Roland regain the throne.

"Pil" is a fairly conventional animated film, its script does not present a novel story and it is full of clichéd scenes looking for an easy laugh. The animation of the landscapes is good but the characters look very forced in their movements. A typical movie with a couple of nice scenes.

The title said it all. I fell asleep halfway through the movie.

*I only had a few laughs with the jokes of the weird sock-puppet, about the lords and all. They were quite funny or at least enjoyable, haha.

*Bad animation, very wonky walk-cycle, and it looks like it's a movie made in the early 2010s.

*Bad characters, they're dumb. Dialogues doesn't help. Why does the main character have that haircut ? It's not for my taste. And the prince.. He looks like an ugly grown-up baby, like a clone of Mark Zuckerberg, what the what ?! At least the evil-guy looks like an evil-guy.

*The main story is basic. Nothing bad with that, but nothing new either.

Sure, i'm not a kid, and the movie clearly is made for kids. But even if i was, i would still say that the movie was uninteresting and boring. I'd leave the TV room and play with my Legos.

Anyway, the movie isn't awful, but it's flat, boring and not really fun.

I watched this with my 3 and 5 year old at the movies and there is only the one scene which was pretty scary for them but overall it was funny, had a decent story line, and we all enjoyed it. I recommend this as a good family watch.

Watched with my daughter. Only redeeming quality beyond the 2005ish animation was that it ended. Poorly thought out characters, a plot that was so boring my 8 year old yawned, and writing so bad that I wish it was in original French so I couldn't understand it. So I guess you could say I very disappointed. I was expecting something akin to how to train your dragon, but it wasn't even that dumb. The action was surf like, the characters were like book come to life, but not a good work of literature. Imagine instead something inspired like stereo instructions trying to be funny and witty against a nails on the chalkboard plot.

I really loved this movie and so did my 7 and 12 year old kids. Without adding spoilers I'll just say that the story is cute and the pacing is also perfect with never a boring moment. The dark and evil parts are also not scary. Instead they turned those into something funny. I'm thoroughly entertained and full marks from me. 10/10.

French animation movie , with a plot based in a village in the dark ages, with themes and incisions of inspiration from loads of other feature animations, even though living its own brilliant life and story, with some generic caracters that the squemish adult will call childish and childrens tv like, but nope, this has some exquisit animation and such a sharp edited product that you shouldnt let this pass at any means...

a good laugh, top notch animation and a big recommend from the grumpy old man and missus, for everyone above age 4.

Is it the best kids movie ever? No. But it has enough fun and storytelling power to keep you entertained. It is one of those 'easy' and 'comforting' stories with funny and relatable characters in a cool medieval fantasy setting.

The main story of an orphan that is not seen by society and makes her own way but ends up being the big saviour isn't a new one, but the setting and especially the extra characters in the form of animals make this a lovely film.

The storyline has enough extra layers and twists to stay fun and it has quite a bit of spunky humour to get out a chuckle or two. Go watch this with your kids.

Ok, so firstly, I'm 41 and this film was probably not made for me. I watched it because I love animation - and it did not disappoint, I genuinely really enjoyed it. Yes, it wasn't a particularly original story, however I found the well known tropes amusing in way perhaps children wouldn't. I can't quite figure out who was voicing the main characters in the UK, but apart from Pil who felt a little off, I think they did a good job. The music was amusing, in a fake renaissance way. Another reviewer likened the animation to circa 2005 and that I really didn't see. It obviously wasn't the standard of a big budget Pixar, but that's not what it is! The animal characters in particular were incredibly well crafted; amusing, adorable and believable.

As an adult animation fan, I can definitely attest to it being a worthwhile watch and will be recommending it to my small godchildren who I know will love it.
