Mediocre, derivative, mechanistic; nothing magical or mystical about it
26 May 2015 | by Ms_Q – See all my reviews

This is the kind of children's movie I particularly dislike. I can't write any spoilers, as I quite watching about about half an hour.

The first 10 minutes or so make it seem as if this is going to be a very atmospheric, magical, mystical experience, but then it replaces all of that in favor of a mechanistic bureaucracy filled with clichéd characters. Most of the characters are some version of the lovable curmudgeon -- grouchy, impatient, irritable, with a heart of gold -- or the inept, incompetent stooge. The dialogue is trite and predictable.

As some one else wrote, it is not Miyazaki. It is not Neil Gaiman. It is, however, the Spanish version of "Monsters, Inc."
