Cigüeñas

Hokum. This word describes it best. However, entertaining and well-paced, where the viewer is flooded by some many jokes, gags, off-the-wall things and ideas that he does not even have time to realize which are good ones and which aren't. The great thing is that the creators manage to balance on the edge of entertainment that entertains the youngest children, but does not forget their older entourage. And it mostly go hand in hand and not in a way "now gag for adults and now some escapade for the kids". Typically "satirical" scenes about parenting, busyness or a corporate career, in which, however, some animal making faces or falls somewhere. As a result, both children and parents are laughing together. Moreover, thanks to episodes from the life of a boy "who wanted a ninja brother to play with", it also has an emotional impact, which one would not even expect from such a grotesque farce without plot that is based on never-ending escapades. Moreover, neither the voiceover (which is successful) nor the translation that someone obviously clearly enjoyed (the son of an employee!) spoils the parental duty to take the kids to the movies.

An unpretentious animated film that is extremely dynamic and lively, besides entertaining, making people laugh, but also touching. Storks are no longer carrying little children, but have started a business in the postal service, only, as it usually happens, there would be no story without a misstep or a twist. I was most amused by the scenes in the wolf cave and with the wolves who could do all sorts of formations. Besides that, I liked the idea of "making babies". In short, a nice film that does not amaze or bring you to your knees, but it is nice to watch and a good way to relax. (22.02.2017)

Unlike The BFG, this film kept me entertained from start to finish. Tulip and Junior make a standard team full of opposites, which is a cliché that actually worked for me in this film. Some great ideas were incorporated into the plot. I enjoyed the wolf transformations and the quiet fight with the penguins. All the while I was worrying that there would be a gooey melodramatic ending, which wasn’t the case to my surprise. Instead, I discovered that Tulip was either of Irish or Scottish descent. One of the few things I didn't like about the film is the completely unnecessary character of the pigeon, who seemed to be there as a substitute for the old slip-on-a-banana-peel gag, getting hit with a cake in the face, Jar Jar Bings, and the like.

I didn't have high expectations, but I liked what I ended up getting. This is a very good cartoon with successful animation, but it relies more on story and humor. The story is original, but the humor is what carries it. At times the film is truly hilarious. At some points, I actually managed to burst out laughing. (02.01.2017)
