Super K

OK, remind me again what film school(if any) this crew graduated from, because I'd like to add it to my Do-Not-Attend list. I'd be akin to forgiving them for the terrible graphics, but not for the boring, confusing, drawn out, strange, and extremely uninteresting storyline. If you're going to make your mark in the filming world, at least try to be a little ambitious, regardless of your budget. And calling this title 'Kiara The Brave' during the same year that 'Brave' came out is a great way to get yourself listed as a ripoff artist. You shouldn't have to fool people into watching your film because they've mistaken it for the real thing. That's a sure sign of poor creativity. I thought I'd give this a chance, because I could certainly do without the fancy graphics had the movie at least held my attention. It did not, and now I'll be placing this film to the back of my memory, hopefully to be forgotten forever. Do not watch this movie unless you're a Prof. at a film school using it as an example of how NOT to make an animated flick.

As a massive animation fan, Kiara the Brave really is as execrable as the reviewers on IMDb and Amazon say. Don't look for redeeming merits, there are not an awful lot of movies, animated or otherwise, that are completely irredeemable but Kiara the Brave certainly is, managing to do the seemingly impossible and be even worse than Life's a Jungle: Africa's Most Wanted. First and foremost the title, not in a long time has there been a more misleading title for a movie, Super K would have been much more fitting because Super Kloud is the main character, Kiara is literally barely in it. That's the least of Kiara the Brave's problems though. The animation is some of the worst there's ever been for any style, ugly colours, blocky backgrounds, blocky character movements and traumatising character designs(especially the hideous one for Super Kloud, which contributed to my 10-year old friend's night terror after he watched it) that make those of Video Brinquedo's and Spark Plug Entertainment's outputs seem tame in comparison. The music is plodding, forgettable at best and often out of place, some of it and the sound effects were just bizarre(if not quite as bad as Life's a Jungle). The dialogue is enough to give you the urge to pull your ear-drums out, it was juvenile, intelligence-insulting(for kids and adults alike) and just sounded like it was made up on the spot. Not just the writing quality but the way it was delivered too. The story is a colossal bore and makes an even bigger mistake of being incoherent, my friend actually asked what was going on in the story and I couldn't tell him. Slow pacing has never been a problem and understanding what's going on in a movie rarely has, but both were a major problem in Kiara the Brave. The characters are not engaging in the slightest, the supposed title character has a dull as dishwater personality, the actual lead character is obnoxious and the villains are creepy even for villains. The voice acting sounded like nobody put any effort in or forgot their acting lessons providing that they had any in the first place. In conclusion, dreadful in every way imaginable, a must-avoid, and this is coming from a person who is a vast majority of the time very subjective apart from in special cases like this. 0/10 Bethany Cox

How did Phase 4 Films Think Kiara is the Main Character? Kloud IS!!! The Animation looks like a Shovelware Wii Game. There's a Vacuum Cleaner and a Computer that the Wizard Uses in the Medieval Kingdom, What time period does this Movie take place in? 2000, 2025, 1996? Action scenes look Bad. I remembered watching with my Brother in my Parents Room. Just stay away from this and Go watch the Simpsons Movie, That Movie is way better than this Movie.

Super K, the 2011 Indian animated feature directed by Kushal Ruia, aspires to deliver a vibrant superhero tale for children but ultimately falls short on nearly every front. Despite its noble intent to create homegrown animation content, the film struggles with execution, earning a disappointing 1/10 for its lack of narrative cohesion, technical polish, and emotional engagement.

The premise-a mischievous boy created by superpowers who must learn responsibility to save his kingdom-has potential. However, the plot is riddled with clichés, abrupt tonal shifts, and underdeveloped character arcs. The storytelling feels rushed and disjointed, making it difficult for viewers to invest in the journey or care about the stakes.

Visually, Super K suffers from outdated CGI and inconsistent design choices. Character models lack fluidity, and the environments feel flat and uninspired. For a film that hinges on fantasy and action, the animation fails to deliver the dynamism or aesthetic appeal needed to captivate its target audience.

The voice performances range from passable to awkward, with little emotional nuance. Dialogue often feels stilted, and the sound mixing does little to enhance the experience. The musical score, while energetic, cannot compensate for the lack of narrative and visual depth.

While the film attempts to convey messages about teamwork, courage, and growth, these themes are buried beneath chaotic pacing and superficial storytelling. The result is a film that feels more like a missed opportunity than a meaningful contribution to children's media.

Super K is a well-intentioned but poorly executed animated feature that fails to meet the basic standards of engaging children's entertainment. Its lack of polish and coherence makes it difficult to recommend, even as a curiosity. For viewers seeking quality animated storytelling, this one is best left in the archives.

My kids got sucked in by the title but even at their age they knew how bad this was. Avoid at all costs; you're better off watching Santa With Muscles
