Adventures of Rufus: The Fantastic Pet

Easily one of the worst movies I've ever sat through, acting was incredibly cringey and story was a mess, don't waste your time

I started watching this movie with great anticipation for an adventure, magic, and overall fun. The story itself is a good one. Unfortunately, the acting and the special effects are dismal at best. I had to force myself to watch this movie to the end because I wanted to turn it off about 2/3 of the way through. I enjoy all types of kids movies whether it be regular or animated or a combination. I could not, in my best conscious, give this a good rating. The only reason I gave it a 6 is because the story is good but everything else is lacking. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this movie is not worth watching. 😚

I think when we hv wfh , this is the answer we around the whole family make a unity to watch this movie..n we enjoy it ..

Sometimes you see something that looks so absolutely bad that you just have to check it out. Going in with the bar set to it's lowest parameters I found myself vaguely interested and not miserable. An oddly charming and cute cast with a very adequate soundtrack but everything else is pretty mediocre lol It's feels like a stageplay with stilted lines, overacted posing and behaviors, and it's all shot directly forward, no cinematic angles or interesting shots. The main kids of the central story, Scott and Emily are very cute and well played and made the movie worth the bad points. Without them I wouldn't have endured the 80 minutes but they really outshined the rest of the cast. There's a bunch of cutaways as the movie is told via a grandpa reading a book to some other kids and honestly all of that could have just been thrown out. It's boring and feels like it's just ripping off other movies. The animation isn't great but it's cute and absolutely acceptable for a kid's adventure movie. It fits the bill for an afternoon background flick to help fill the void of quarentine blur.

For the right age this is an entertaining story. However,, for other people used to tons of expensive CGI, cinematography, & seasoned actors, it will fall short. For kids' who want to see an adventure story coming to life, it's fine. Adults who don't like this, go watch I Am Dragon.
