Los ilusionautas

I like animated movies a lot. And VERY VERY rarely I do not watch a movie till the end, even if it is not very good.

I registered to this website just for this review: I do not remember to have ever watched a worse animated movie. I had to stop at 45 min (I resisted so long just because I was bored and needed to watch something, but the movie was more boring than my previous boredom). The animation is really bad. As the previous review say, yes, you can see that the animators put lot of effort in it, and you can see that it was NOT enough. "they put lot of effort" is enough for amateur theater shows in the local church. Not for a movie. DO you remember those videogames of the past, where the cover was so beautiful and realistic but the animation of the game was totally unrealistic? So is this movie. Beautiful cover, bad animation. The animation is actually so annoying that I had sometimes a sort of seasickness, because the Characters move all the time in a strange way. The story is stupid and narrated in a complicated way. The voices are sometimes annoying. The gags are repetitive and of bad taste. Or I should say bad smell, as the main gag of this movie is a kid who farts. nope. And all is a plagiarism of other movies. Not in the funny way that other movies do. Just in a stupid way, to sell something which alone cannot be sold because has got no value by itself.

I am sure there are bad movies. But to make all this effort in an animated movie, and get such a result, one must really want to fail.

Setting aside all the blatant flaws, such as the utterly insane attempt at a plot or the phoned-in voice acting, this film contains some of the most awful CGI I've ever seen. Every single character has weird floaty eyes where their irises regularly float out of their eye sockets.

It's incredibly disconcerting and I'm sorry I can't describe the effect better. All I can say is that it looks like the character's faces were designed by someone who has never made eye contact with another living human being. Once you notice the weird eyes (and you will within 5 minutes) you'll spend the rest of the movie being freaked out by them.

Fortunately you won't be missing much because the rest of the show is abysmal. It's a complete nonsense story about hating Jules Verne and trying to satirize European politics. Neither topic is a good basis for a kids' movie.

I got nothing against the previous review I mean I can't "defend" this movie much and people are free to think what they want after all, but I believe every movie deserves a constructive review rather than a destructive one.

Soundtrack is good and I strongly disagree on the technique part being bad I think its quite good you can clearly see and feel the character expressions and in small details like the lions hair, you can see that animators have put a lot of work on this movie. But still,

THE MOVIE IS BAD.

The problem here isn't the animation: The problem is the writer. SAME problem that Eduardo Schuldt has on all his movies. He should really hire someone for the scripts because he's giving peruvian cinema a bad name by doing so himself.

So confusing and didn't have a thread... it just jumped from one scene to the oder with no correlation sometimes. It was boring, had some jokes for grown ups. The scenes in slow motion didn't make sense, they looked like the movie wasn't working properly. My nephew only liked a couple of parts with the puppy. It was difficult to relate to the characters and the adults had a fake french accent that made it difficult to understand them. I don't recommend it for children under 7 and I can't imagine an 8 or 9 year old enjoying it. Overall, just a messy movie with nothing interesting to tell and nothing that would keep the child interested. I enjoy a good animated movie, like Epic or Despicable me. This one wasn't only bad. Very bad movie.

This has to be the most entertaining mess of a movie I have seen in a long time.

This 2012 Eduardo Schuldt animated film follows the tradition of his past motion pictures, in that its horrible. His movies are just cynical pieces of trash made to be consumed by little kids who he thinks don't know any better. To be honest, hacks don't bother me, I can watch a cynical product and even kinda of like it, but this is just unbearable.

The movie its as cliché and as forced as a film can be, the editing is just horrible, its like they don't know how to properly cut a film, they leave all these uninteresting and useless scenes in, not only that but they cut the movie in a way that makes you feel like someone is messing with you by skipping chapters with the remote control.

The main characters (who are supposed to be a team of 4 kids for the children in the audience to relate to) are all stereotypes, but they don't do anything with them, there is no development in any way, at first they all hate each other but as soon as they find themselves in trouble they all suddenly care for each other. They even make two characters fall in love, and guess what, its not well developed either.

The humor is bottom of the barrel, not a single joke works, not one (genuine) laugh in the whole movie, maybe they think that kids are idiots who laugh at stupid things, and they are probably right, but there needs to be more than just that, if not for the parents, for the kids to learn something important or useful.

You may be wondering why do I even care?, after all its just a crappy obscure kids movie, well I care because it was made in Latin America. The director made the first Latin American 3D animated film back in 2005, this is our legacy, people. Some of the worst animated movies ever made.

I recognized some of the voice actors and I feel bad for them, it was a long time ago, but still, they are all good actors, they even made the movie a bit less awkward.

I wish I could say something nice about it, I guess it being somewhat entertaining for bad movie fans could count, but its juts a horrible piece of trash, I think I heard someone say once that you couldn't find a worse animated film even if you looked for it.
