Mi Amigo El Fantasma

This Oscar Wilde story has been filmed a dozen times, but as far as I know this is the first time it is presented as a CGI film. The CGI is not the very best we've seen, but it is more than watchable.

An American family move into an old stately home to find it is haunted by the ghost of it's former owner. Only the teen daughter of the family, Virginia, strikes up a friendship with the ghost, Sir Simon de Canterville, and together they plot how he can be laid to rest finally. I can't imagine this film scaring many kids so it is perfect for a family watch. It may even serve to make smaller kids less afraid of ghosts as Sir Simon is an utterly nice fellow.

The pace is spot on, the story is good, the voice acting is very good from everyone, and the CGI is enough to satisfy the vast majority of people.

All in all a very healthy and fun film for all ages. I give it a solid 6.

The animation evokes the aesthetics of early 2000s video games, but not in a way that adds nostalgic value. Rather, it appears as if constrained by the same limitations that plagued those older games-resulting in choppy and disjointed visuals. A reviewer's perfect 10 out of 10 score for the film raises further concerns. This suspicion is heightened by the fact that the review was published a month before the film's official release. Such an anomalously high rating strongly suggests a self-serving agenda, likely from someone affiliated with the production team. Despite a compelling story, the film ultimately fails to deliver a visual experience that matches the quality of its narrative.

Man, it was such a Magnificent Film, from Start to Finish.

Granted, the Source Material is of Oscar Wilde.

But you still have to Execute.

Elements -

1. Again the Filmmakers already have the Upper Hand with Such Material as this Particular Oscar Wilde Story but the Effective Execution was also There.

2. The Dialogue was Excellent, Forwarding the Plotline Consistently. A Few Good Quips too. "Somehow Cucumber Sandwiches are a Thing, But I don't know why" - or something along those lines, It was Funny to me.

3. The Animation Style, I love this Style. It's Nothing Out of this World, but it had this Charm that Suited this Particular Story.

4. Virginia Otis is Great, she has the Charisma to Lead this thing. Canterville was Ok. And the Rest of the Supporting Cast were Good too.

5. It Hits the Emotional Beats Well.

Overall, Excellent Narrative Storytelling, Great Dialogue, Emotional Beats, it was just a Delightful Watch.

I underestimated the movie at first but after watching it a enjoyed it a lot

Now to the main review.

I Enjoy the movie a lot,it is well made and has an interesting plot It has what you expect from movies,scenes that make you cry,laugh or any other emotion, i also like how its not scary so kids can watch it without parents worrying about their children being scared.

I think, is a movie that is fun for the whole family. Youngsters will like the characters, the older children will enjoy the plot, and the adults will likely enjoy the movie as.

I don't feel any horror. It's a very good movie for family,kids and youngsters.

1. There's nothing interesting about the choppy animation, in fact it's worse than 2000's animation movies somehow, wich makes this kinda boring to watch.

2. The plotline in most cases is completely unrealistic, making this movie even more unwatchable.

3. The scenes that try to make you laugh, cry or make you feel anything else fail miserably, with the dialogues being exaggerated, bland,or useless, 90% of the sounds effect in the movie just being:"huh?""woah" or any kind of overused interjections.

4. The characters dont have a lot of developement, making them very boring and uninteresting.

5. Why is half the cast morbidly obese?? Seriously,barely anyone was obese in the 20th century.

Overall this movie wasn't funny, interesting or scary at all, and i don't even know what it's supposed to be.
