I liked the characters and the voices , but not the story, 1 April 2006
5/10
Author: ach8826 from LIMA- PERU

"Carnivale " is a strange animated movie , that despite the flaws (it have a lot of them )I can see talent behind , but I 'm afraid that the script is too weird to me .

The story start with a group of children that enter into a strange place full of strange games and where it seems that time don't pass . The problem start when they discover that the park have a dark secret and if they don't leave the park , they will stay there forever .

Inspired by a story of Tim Burton , this movie have very likable characters and very good cast of voices , but the problem is in the history .

Like "Monkeybone " , the story shows us a lot of strange scenes and the confusing script is like riddle without answer . I guess that it try to be symbolic like "Laberynth " , but the result is uneven . Probably one of the biggest problems of the movie is the animation . It is not very different to a Saturday cartoon , and the use of some real images in the beginning doesn't have sense .

I 'm not sure if all the people would enjoy this movie . Definitely it is not bad , but probably I would like it more if the story wasn't so strange and pointless sometimes . Depends of your taste .

5/10
