Xiao men shen

My heart breaks for the animators of this movie. I couldn't imagine working so hard only to see it ruined by Americans who just want to make a quick buck.This movie should've been wonderful; why in the world was this allowed to happen?

The English voice acting is horrible! I only loved Meryl Streep's narration!

Prior to sitting down to watch "The Guardian Brothers" (aka "Xiao men shen") I had not heard anything about it. Actually, I didn't even know it existed. I read the synopsis and decided to watch it. Plus, it was set in an Asian setting, which also appeals to me.

This animated movie had a very nice story to tell, and it is very enjoyable even if you are not overly familiar with Chinese mythology. You quickly and easily immerse yourself into the storyline and the world in which the story takes place.

The art style used in this animated movie was quite good, as it was definitely unique and lovely at the same time.

It was just a shame that it was an English dubbed version that I saw, although they had some pretty good voice actors on the cast list for the English dub.

"The Guardian Brothers" is definitely worth taking the time to sit down and watch, whether it is by yourself or with your family and kids.

I don't choose to watch dubbed versions but in this case, Netflix didn't exactly give me a choice. Nicole Kidman's awful attempt at voice acting was awful. Literally sounded like she had just received the script and read it during recording.

Yikes, the voice work in this movie is awful. It's like a layer out of place.. And while it is visually interesting in some parts the movement and dialogue is just BAD... The pacing, developments and everything in it feels wrong. The Seal-breaking scenes are the only saving grace (mostly anything Yu Lei related), and the drawn animation of the "monster".. aside from that, the story is not explained enough, doesn't make sense and feels dumb at times.

I wonder if watching this in another language would make this a tad better. Also, there's too many farts..
