Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
horacioreyes The movie represents a magic world of Puebla, Mexico about 1700. It is full of colors and some of the most important buildings of the city appear. The film is Plenty of Mexican symbols and folklore. It makes the film quite interesting and different.The legend can be little bit scary for small kids because touches some of the black legends of Mexico. However is not so bad.The actors who lend their voices make a very interesting performances, almost all of them are very well recognized.Special mention for the music, which is delicious.I am afraid that not Mexicans won't completely understand it and therefore won't enjoy fully the film, nevertheless, it should be seen, because it will give the opportunity to learn a little bit more about Mexico in a nice way.
jona_omar I went today to see this movie, i didn't know what to expect, since i had not seen any publicity, yet it surprised me, the animations were OK, since they are not the best cartoons ever, but definitely you will be happy to see them as a well-built Mexican characters, however it combines perfectly 2D and 3D animation, the story is great, it knows how to appreciate all our legends and our history, there parts where you will jump of your seat, but after wards you will laugh, there are jokes with double meaning, so both children and adults can laugh, the environment, feels like if your were really there, so many of our traditions, i think there should be more movies of this kind, we should support our Mexican animated movies, instead of spending our money seeing worthless American animated movies ("vacas vaqueras", "tierra de osos", etc.) We should not expect the Mexican movies to be like them, colorful but bored.
rodolfo-gonzalez Even if it is not a state-of-the-art animation, being traditional 2D drawings, later computer-colored, the movie is funny, most of the humor being rather idiosyncratic, and portraits the city of Puebla very accurately, from the San Francisco Church to the Palafoxiana Library. The movie also shows many Mexican and Novohispan traditions, such as the "merengueros", the "balero" game, the "calaveras" (sugar candy) and the "Día de Muertos" (All Saints), everything set just 3 years before the start of the Mexican Independence War.The production was done completely in Puebla, Mexico, and it was premiered during the Festival International de Cine de Morelia (FICM).
I Feito I'm a big fan of several of the big name actors (Mexican) that lent their voices for characters in this movie and went into the theater with high expectations.I couldn't believe how bad this movie was. Voices were OK, but the movie is definitively geared toward kids not a day over 4 years, and then it may prove scary for them. Jokes were dumb and animation seemed cheap to the point of not being funny anymore.People who remember that old TV show "Cantinflas Show" may remember that type of animation as interesting when it was done... 25 years ago, not today.Definitively not funny, not entertaining and not even worth the 30 minutes I spent before leaving the theater.Ignacio
