La Banda di Don Chisciotte: Missione Mulini a Vento

This is a phrase in my homeland. In this context, it can be used approximately like this: the newer the year of a Western cartoon, the fewer normal examples there are. You can count the good ones by the fingers of one hand. And I am not even talking about the depth of the plot, but rather about the production inside it, graphics, dialogues, or motivation of the characters. I am also horrified by the fact that there are so many people who defend such works. If you are not particularly picky about the quality of a movie or cartoon and you are satisfied with "chewing gum for the brain" - please, this may occupy you and you may even like it, but for others I do not recommend it at all.

Alfonso is Don Quixote's heir. He too has a wild imagination. He is excited to see that the coming storm is not a storm, but a monster. A storm can't be tamed but a monster can be defeated. He has his two friends, Pancho and Victoria, and various imaginary friends. They intend to stop the villagers from leaving the rain-soaked town and defeat the monster in turn. Carrasco is trying to sell homes to the villagers in his Carrascoland.

I like this for this European animation film. I like the Don Quixote connection and the animation style. I'm not sure if we should see the imaginary world right away. Alfonso should talk to no one and about nothing. Maybe the imaginary world would come alive with the climatic battle. This is interesting but not the best.

I created an IMDb about just so I could tell you how terrible this movie is.

Was it written by AI? Did it make sense in another language, then sent through google translate with no editing? My husband thought it was created by someone with ADHD. It led me to defend my fellow neurodivergent populace. We may divert our attention occasionally, but we wouldn't produce such poor quality. We just wouldn't have finished creating it.

This bizarre fever dream of a movie made no sense. My son fell asleep and wanted to watch it again the next day. Upon my second viewing, I became more angry about how bananas this movie was. It's not even funny bad. It's baffling that someone allocated funds for this film to be made.

"Giants of La Mancha" sweeps viewers into a whimsical world filled with adventure, heart, and imagination. Drawing inspiration from the timeless tale of Don Quixote, the film introduces us to the spirited Alfonso Quijote and his loyal companion, Pancho Panza, as they embark on a daring quest to save their village.

One of the film's standout qualities is its captivating animation, which brings the fantastical landscapes of La Mancha to life with stunning detail and vibrant colors. From rolling hills to towering windmills, each scene is beautifully crafted, immersing viewers in a visually stunning experience.

But it's not just the visuals that shine in "Giants of La Mancha." The film's charming characters and heartfelt story are equally captivating. Alfonso, Pancho, and their friends are endearing and relatable, each with their own strengths and flaws that make them feel authentic and relatable.

"Giants of La Mancha" also introduces us to Victoria, a character who adds depth and emotion to the story. As Alfonso's secret crush, Victoria is not just a love interest but a strong and independent character in her own right. With her cool demeanor and unwavering determination, she becomes an integral part of the adventure, proving that courage knows no bounds.

Throughout the film, Victoria's presence serves as a source of inspiration for Alfonso and his friends. Her unwavering support and belief in their mission fuel their determination to overcome obstacles and face their fears. Victoria's character development adds layers of complexity to the narrative, highlighting the importance of friendship and solidarity in the face of adversity.

As the story reaches its emotive ending, viewers are treated to a heartwarming conclusion that celebrates the power of hope and resilience. Without giving away spoilers, the climax of "Giants of La Mancha" is both poignant and uplifting, leaving audiences with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. It's a testament to the film's masterful storytelling and character development, leaving a lasting impression long after the credits roll.

It is a different movie to watch with the family. It has a nice message and a lot of humor, the rabbits are great! Cute characters, great art design and photography. It has a handmade appearance that makes it look similar to Laika projects but brighter. At times the editing is a little fast but perhaps it is appropriate for the current times. We were surprised by the quality of animation, especially for being an independent film. It remind me to The Goonies or Stand by me. It has many movie references, we loved that. The ending is very emotional and the story in general made us talk a lot as a family after the movie.
