Minuscule 2: Les Mandibules du Bout du Monde

It was such a shame that I watched Minuscule 2 alone in a theatre. To be fair, the movie was going to get a limited release anyway and the theatre was not a convenient location. Still, one has to wonder "Why aren't there animated films as simple and effective as this?"

Being a silent French animated film with little backstory, the story would be so unfamiliar for a regular moviegoer. However, it gives the movie a unique storytelling that you just could not get in almost any non-Pixar animated movie out there.

Animation is simple yet effective. The story? Even without the dialogue, you understand the story but you would often be surprised at times. The characters? Even without names, you still feel for them because each character was well thought out.

This movie is a feast for your senses and I left the theatre a very happy young adult. If only most animated movies would follow suit and not go for tired and unoriginal plots in the first place...

I smiled all the way through this! It is the definition of joy. My daughter (age 9) complained she didn't want to watch it at first but within minutes was glued to it, laughing and mesmerised by all the tiny characters and their adventures. Both Minuscule movies are a total delight!

Something about this movie feels eccentric. With no dialogues still it reaches your heart. A simple, heartwarming and Adventurous story. A good watch for all age.

Absolutely mindboggling beautiful. After watching Avatar 2, which to me seemed like an endless barrage of violence, shooting and blowing things up, Miniscule is the exact opposite. It simply oozes nature, beauty in small things, care and feelings. The link with the first movie is sublime, the script is wonderful as is the selection of music. Another 10/10 for Miniscule and a must watch for anyone who loves the mix of animation with real life footage. It's clear that only the French are able to lift the art of animation to its own, as yet to be superseded, level of greatness. Would have been an honor for any movie-maker to have been part of the production team that brought Miniscule 2 to the screen.

Really surprised with how much I enjoyed this film! Even though they don't have names I got quite invested in the characters and the sound track was brilliant. My kids loved it as well. The amination was simple yet effective. Really good family film.
