great animated film with great humor and very topical messages
Sony Picture presents an animated film that is second to none and can easily keep up with Disney and Pixar.
The story takes a tongue-in-cheek look at our internet culture, with all its dependencies. There is a slight reference to Apple with its presentations and the smartphone with an AI. But there are also messages about the acceptance of family and human connection. The father-daughter relationship is treated with care and heart. Overall, I felt the relationship of the family members, as well as their respective characters, was quite realistic.
The action is thrilling, the animation is breathtaking, you can see that the characters were created with a lot of love, brilliantly stylized CGI, a unique style and character design. Much of the technology used in Spider-Man: A New Universe was also employed. This gave the film a picturesque and lovingly designed aura. I was really thrilled and completely surprised by an additional media cross-fade, which I hadn't expected.
Here we have one of those rare films that appeals to parents and children on their own level and yet has a common ground. It's incredibly fun from start to finish. The designs are elegant, the blend of visual styles is entertaining, the generational clash is amusing and the humor is on point.
My personal highlight was the cross-eyed dog Monchi, he has a place in my heart forever, he was mega.
A movie that really puts you in a good mood and that you can watch again and again.
------------- Conclusion: Outstanding - A robot riot of the funny kind - colorful, chaotic and lovable with a great sense of humor that hits the mark with a disarmingly perceptive emotional core. A movie you can watch several times and therefore a very clear recommendation. 🎬 💛 - mattfrancis-60254 - 7 January 2024
All wrong with today
This is everything wrong with a kids life these days. Tech, robots, concentration and attitude. Yes sure there's lots and lots of scenery and visionary for you to feats you eyes on, soundtrack, laughs etc but the whole thing is incredibly annoying and tiring. It's just bla bla bla all the way through and too much going on.
Made by a bunch of TikTok streamers it seemed. Let's be loud, flashy, throw in as much special effects as we can and keep things as modern as possible but also unrealistic. Can you not see? Definitely wouldn't recommend if you want your kid or teen to come back down to earth and put the iPad down.
