Tabaluga

My four and two year old absolutely love it 5th time watching it. Nothing depressing about it my children understand what is going on with evil snowman octo and sweet little tabaluga.

A very nice, modern film adaptation of the German classic. Sometimes a bit scary for the younger audience under six years of age, but with the parents by the side it is certainly a wonderful experience. The only point of criticism may be that the animation is really out of date.

Habe to agree to the other reviews here. We had to leave the cinema with two almost 5 year olds since they were afraid of the scary snowman. Still have nightmares after days...

Should children, or teens, or adults be exposed to fantasy good vs. bad (unfortunately for young ones - a snowman) where good triumphs & evil bad is vanquished in some way? Well, it's been that way forever (at least since humans started telling tales in caves). So no surprise there. My low rating is due to the animation & voicing. Animation wasn't the worst nor was it amongst the best. Had some 3-D, but in mostly a single moving character with layered painted looking backdrops that were static (not moving). And both, central characters & background, lacked detail. Voicing was too human like. Characters were too stereotypical cute - dragon looked like a green puppy; princess looked like most female animé: thin, attractive, big eyes, long light hair, white, and very "Frozen" like. German & Chinese animators should catch up w/their neighbors.

I've brought my daughter and her friend to watch it, both 5-years-old, and they've got terrified with the evil scenes, which happen during most of 50% of the movie.

Besides that, it's a very idiot movie, even for children.
