Pixies

Dialogue and animation reminded me of Clutch Cargo.

Compared to what is shown today even on TV, a student could do better.

Story line about vengeance is not kid friendly even though they make up at the end.

If the story is about bullies and vengeance it could have been better portrayed.

if I wasn't with my granddaughter I would have left.

Learned to never go see a movie that only has 1 showing a day at the theater.

If I could have, I would have asked for a refund.

It actually got a 2 bc I was so entertained at my kids reactions and commentary to this movie. I am currently 45 minutes into this movie, and I had to start looking into it. I was surprised it was made/released in 2015---it seems like a story that was developed many generations ago. (Joe is lovestruck by the underage-looking female who knocks him out with the door). And it is very poor quality..I literally thought to myself that this must be an early creation when animation became a thing. So, the commentary the kids have provoded have been on joesJsquare finhers, his proportion to his house, his eyebrows......nothing looks human amongst hom, and therefore the movie comes off as something made for toddlers. Did I mention my children are 8 and 10, and find this movie an actual laughing joke? We are watching this only because it is a TV movie, and it is the end of our night spending time together.

Not recommend for 8+

I don't know where to begin, lets just start off by saying the movie is awful, low budget (like SUPER LOW BUDGET), but kids will enjoy it because the main character gets hurt a lot (much like looney toons style comedy).

The Dialog, was very meek and boring, characters just seems to randomly emotionlessly talk to each other and blank stare with frequent pauses between sentences that ruined the flow of any conversation.

This is a movie about vengeance, not a particularly good story to tell kids. Joe the main character is cursed by Pixies because he missed garbage day and decided to throw his garbage into a river. He literally missed the garbage truck by about 3 seconds, and the truck didn't stop to pick up garbage on any of the other dozen neighboring houses, it literally just stops at Joe's house, sees there's no garbage, and drives off and around the block randomly. Kay.

So Joe throws his garbage into a river and squashes the Pixie kings son, and the pixie king, completely emotionlessly tells a story while his son may or may not die about how pixies will curse people who do them wrong. Kay.

So a these pixes now do stuff like drop books on him or mess with his household appliances, make him slip and fall, etc. but none of it really makes any sense. Like for example, they set off a belt sander at his work. Its not plugged in or anything, you can see the cord dangle along as it races on the floor. It somehow wraps around Joe's leg and drags him all around his shop, where he crashes into things and tires somehow fall on his head, and the shop explodes, but hes okay.

There's a part in the story where he captures a pixie, and puts a glass over top of him to trap him and leaves him there for the day. No matter what this pixie does, he cant move the glass, neither can his friends, because apparently it weights a million pounds to them. Not 20 minutes prior to this scene, we witness two pixies pick up a freaking manhole cover and move it in half a second so Joe falls down it. Kay.

Its just awfully written, awfully scripted and animated, everything is just so bland and random, any parent watching it with their kids will be shaking their head at it.

The kids however, if they're like 4 or 5, will enjoy it, because they think its hilarious when Joe gets hurt, which is kind of the wrong message to be sending here.

I don't know how this movie is rated 6/10. There's nothing here but crap.

In the suburbs, there is a pixies village hidden in a ditch. Sam and his friends live in the village. His brother William is crushed by a trash bag from the human world. The Pixie King declares a curse on the human named Joe Beck. Sam and his friends cause havoc in his life even at his garage shop. He crashes into Michelle Meyers and falls head over heels. He discovers the pixies and captures Sam.

This is an animated Canadian movie. The animation is rudimentary akin to the late 90s production level. It's better than film student level but less than theatrical release level. The designs are a little ugly especially the pixies and Michelle. The story is functional although it needs to be more straight. There is an environmental bent but it needs fully embrace it. Better animation would help a lot in smoothing out the rougher spots.

Horribly written. Horribly animated and horribly voiced. Did anyone rating this over a 5 actually watch the same movie I did? I don't want to swear but it is hard in this review. I hope the director writer didn't spend all of his life saving's on this. Yikes
