There are better animated films out there, let's not beat around the bush, than 'Capture the Flag', but there are far worse out there as well.

'Capture the Flag' is not a great film as such and has its flaws, instead it's a decent film that could have done with more polish. There is a lack of finesse in the quite strange character designs, that do look unfinished. And it is agreed that some of the story has its disjointed and rushed (much of the pacing is suitably efficient though) moments and that some of the scientific stuff does convolute the story and may go over most viewers' heads.

However, there are also some lovely visuals. The colours are vibrant and atmospherically textured enough, and there is a lot of meticulous detail. The music score and song choices have a really nice Spanish flavour.

While not perfect in execution, the script is amusing with some evidence of charm and heart. It also at least knows which target audience it's aiming for and makes a real effort to appeal to both children and adults, it doesn't completely succeed but still the children will have a few chuckles and like the characters and adults will appreciate the neat inside jokes and notion of the importance of family which has enough subtlety to make it too preachy in how it's delivered.

Characters while lacking depth are likable and charming enough, and they are also nimbly voiced.

All in all, could have been a better film with more polish, but not a bad film...to me actually it was pretty decent. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This is an unexpectedly great film. It has a good story, it's charming, it's well made, the music is brilliant, it's educational as well as entertaining and fun. I can't believe that this film didn't even get nominated for any of the big awards. Yes it won a couple of smaller European awards, I guess it doesn't tick the political correctness boxes and doesn't have any Hollywood names.

Wrong cast given on movie Capture the Flag (2015) It should be the English actors who are on the film credits shown and not Spanish dubbers.

Lead English cast:

Lorraine Pilkington Sam Fink Phillippa Alexander Rasmus Hardiker ....

Check with the production company if necessary!

Really enjoyed this family movie, great animation, lovely story line and kids enjoyed it, recommend as a good family film night watch
