This has to be the most entertaining mess of a movie I have seen in a long time.This 2012 Eduardo Schuldt animated film follows the tradition of his past motion pictures, in that its horrible. His movies are just cynical pieces of trash made to be consumed by little kids who he thinks don't know any better. To be honest, hacks don't bother me, I can watch a cynical product and even kinda of like it, but this is just unbearable.The movie its as cliché and as forced as a film can be, the editing is just horrible, its like they don't know how to properly cut a film, they leave all these uninteresting and useless scenes in, not only that but they cut the movie in a way that makes you feel like someone is messing with you by skipping chapters with the remote control.The main characters (who are supposed to be a team of 4 kids for the children in the audience to relate to) are all stereotypes, but they don't do anything with them, there is no development in any way, at first they all hate each other but as soon as they find themselves in trouble they all suddenly care for each other. They even make two characters fall in love, and guess what, its not well developed either.The humor is bottom of the barrel, not a single joke works, not one (genuine) laugh in the whole movie, maybe they think that kids are idiots who laugh at stupid things, and they are probably right, but there needs to be more than just that, if not for the parents, for the kids to learn something important or useful.You may be wondering why do I even care?, after all its just a crappy obscure kids movie, well I care because it was made in Latin America. The director made the first Latin American 3D animated film back in 2005, this is our legacy, people. Some of the worst animated movies ever made.I recognized some of the voice actors and I feel bad for them, it was a long time ago, but still, they are all good actors, they even made the movie a bit less awkward.I wish I could say something nice about it, I guess it being somewhat entertaining for bad movie fans could count, but its juts a horrible piece of trash, I think I heard someone say once that you couldn't find a worse animated film even if you looked for it.

Every single character has weird floaty eyes where their irises regularly float out of their eye sockets.It's incredibly disconcerting and I'm sorry I can't describe the effect better. All I can say is that it looks like the character's faces were designed by someone who has never made eye contact with another living human being. Once you notice the weird eyes (and you will within 5 minutes) you'll spend the rest of the movie being freaked out by them.Fortunately you won't be missing much because the rest of the show is abysmal. It's a complete nonsense story about hating Jules Verne and trying to satirize European politics. Neither topic is a good basis for a kids' movie.

It might as well have been done with stick figures. LOL.Even with a star voice casting of Christopher Lloyd or Sarah Michelle Gellar couldn't even save this movie. It's really this bad. The CG and animation looks dated 10+ years (totally amateur) and the story and scenes are idiotic as well. If someone gave me the budget to do this CGI animated film I could guarantee I would do a 1000X better job especially utilizing the star voices. Okay. Maybe I came off a little too harsh. So here's the most positive thing I could say about it. I would highly recommend everyone to watch this movie, or even a scene from this movie, just so you don't take our word for it and you could see how bad it is for yourself.
... View MoreA kid's story with no argument. This 'movie' really had a director? God damn it! all characters shake too much. Story is too bad... My daughter (10), her friends and cousins (9->12) can't wait more than half an hour to walk out... sorry... actually... they run out. Story bad, director worst, characters terribly bad... Not even one single good thing. It was actually a waste of money. I can't believe that someone with the ability to make a cartoon picture can throw the opportunity doing something so wrong. Thinking of it, just creeps me out. I'm not going to blame the fact that it was made in a up growing nation, because there are retards in everywhere... but I can't believe someone could produce this kind o SH.. One last thing... why is not a 0 (zero) to qualify this? I have to put 1, because I can't put a lower one.
