El camino de Xico

The idea of the movie looks good, but the script is structured very abruptly. dialogues the plot is very twitchy

A girl, a dog and their best friend set out to save a mountain from a company greedy for gold. But the key is closer to home, with her helper pup, Xico. Very cute and beautful...

I watched it with my goddaughter, it didn't arouse much interest, despite the colorful and charming graphics, the story full of legends and mysticism, something was missing... A delicate and gentle Mexican production, with social criticism of unbridled modernization and lack of respect for native culture, cute, instructive, colorful, with endearing animals, but regular, for not having touched my heart with the depth I expected...

Very accurate view of the risks of unsustainable mining and consequences for nature and people and ... fun!

The rating is way too low. Yes, the characters are a bit one-sided, and yes, the story sometimes lacks of consistensy, but it is an animated movie made for children/family. And it woks perfectly in that regards. Visually stunning - a little bit similar to my beloved Tomm Moore movies, magical, and there are symbols everywhere. Culturally I guess is quite nice, but it's not my my place to judge from Europe. And it teaches a very important lesson.

It's a political anti-hydraulic fracturing mess. Whoever wrote this was awful and did absolutely no research into the process of extracting gold or where it can be found. The music is bad enough it sounds like I made it and that's horrible. The lines are so bad and if it wasn't for the decent animation it would be better to watch Dora the Explorer as at least it has facts in it.
