I think when we hv wfh , this is the answer we around the whole family make a unity to watch this movie..n we enjoy it ..
Sometimes you see something that looks so absolutely bad that you just have to check it out. Going in with the bar set to it's lowest parameters I found myself vaguely interested and not miserable.
An oddly charming and cute cast with a very adequate soundtrack but everything else is pretty mediocre lol
It's feels like a stageplay with stilted lines, overacted posing and behaviors, and it's all shot directly forward, no cinematic angles or interesting shots.
The main kids of the central story, Scott and Emily are very cute and well played and made the movie worth the bad points. Without them I wouldn't have endured the 80 minutes but they really outshined the rest of the cast. There's a bunch of cutaways as the movie is told via a grandpa reading a book to some other kids and honestly all of that could have just been thrown out. It's boring and feels like it's just ripping off other movies.
The animation isn't great but it's cute and absolutely acceptable for a kid's adventure movie.
It fits the bill for an afternoon background flick to help fill the void of quarentine blur.
I knew it was a kids movie and didn't expect much, but wow. It is really bad. The acting by all of the adults is horrible. The only good thing about it, and the only reason i gave it any stars at all, is that my nine-year-old had a big smile on his face whenever i looked over at him as we watched this movie. He really liked it. But wow. Not good.
For the right age this is an entertaining story. However,, for other people used to tons of expensive CGI, cinematography, & seasoned actors, it will fall short. For kids' who want to see an adventure story coming to life, it's fine. Adults who don't like this, go watch I Am Dragon.
Adventures of Rufus: The Fantastic Pet is a adventure/fantasy film directed by Ryan Bellgardt. The film follows Scott (portrayed by
Kyler Charles Beck) and Emily (portrayed by Madelyn Kientz) who are at Scott's grandmothers home when they meet Rufus (voiced by Ryan Bellgardt). Rufus informs them that he is an apprentice to a wizard, Abbott (portrayed by Cory Phillips), and needs their help to collect objects to make a spell that will save his world. The films antagonist is a witch - Lilith (portrayed by Leah N. H. Philpott).
As far as the plot goes, I did not hate Adventures of Rufus: The Fantastic Pet. I thought it was an enjoyable enough kids film with some decent humor.
The acting in the film is pretty poor as no one really gave a standout performance. It wasn't the worst acting I have seen, but definitely on the mediocre side. Yet, why the film is rated so low to me is that the CGI was really poor. Some scenes were just so cheesy that it really took me out of the film.
Overall, I doubt anyone above their targeted age demographic would enjoy the film. - 3/10.

Did you know
- TriviaSome of the mansion scenes were filmed at The Marland Mansion in Ponca City Oklahoma. The Marland Mansion was the second home of Oklahoma Oil Tycoon Ernest Wentworth (E.W.) Marland.
- GoofsWhy did they frame this film as a story in a book being read to two kids by their grandfather? Unlike "The Princess Bride" the story read by Grandad here is purportedly taking place in the real world, so presenting it as "just a story" makes it less believable. Maybe they planned to delve into this issue in the sequel, but revealing such a mysterious reason at the very end of this film would have been a better cliffhanger than simply showing us another story book with the sequel's title.
