Featured reviews
Characters didn't very well drawn, sometimes animation looked simply miserably. You can't find here good characters development (like in charming Disney's masterpiece), dialogs sometimes become annoying and stupid. Maybe it was good enough for Spanish viewers and critics (it have won award for best Spanish animated film of the year) but for anyone else I can't recommend this film. Only one good thing, what I have found in this disappointment, was a final song. It was pretty good.
My grade: 4,4 out of 10. You can find a better way to pass 1,5 hours of your life. I was really disappointed.
Sorry for my bad English.
I like the story It's a fun. But it has no breathing room is just so fast pace. It doesn't feel like we had any moment to really think about what's happening.
But what did less in pacing it has in music. Oh my god, it has some of the most epic Music I've seen in a cartoon. The manly character design just works, small head big muscle and cool animations.
The animation is solid and the fight animations looks really good. That backgrounds are so tall.
But it cannot be understated just how fast this movie is. It feels like they took a really long historical tail and cut it down to just way too much. Characters that appear like we are supposed to know them. Historical figures that feel way too undercooked. I feel like the main characters friends just appear and do stuff and I don't know who they are.
Fun little Spanish cartoon that I found a long time on DVD. Would recommend.
