It actually got a 2 bc I was so entertained at my kids reactions and commentary to this movie. I am currently 45 minutes into this movie, and I had to start looking into it. I was surprised it was made/released in 2015---it seems like a story that was developed many generations ago. (Joe is lovestruck by the underage-looking female who knocks him out with the door). And it is very poor quality..I literally thought to myself that this must be an early creation when animation became a thing. So, the commentary the kids have provoded have been on joesJsquare finhers, his proportion to his house, his eyebrows......nothing looks human amongst hom, and therefore the movie comes off as something made for toddlers. Did I mention my children are 8 and 10, and find this movie an actual laughing joke? We are watching this only because it is a TV movie, and it is the end of our night spending time together.Not recommend for 8+
... View MoreThe Pixie's movie is very different from other comedies because pixies are almost never introduced in these stories. Mythical creatures being introduced into the everyday world makes a very interesting film. Watching it is not only a fun experience, but also a very educational one. The colors and graphics were very good and done by someone with great drawing skills. The other typical comedies that people see are usually done by badly with poor aesthetic quality. There could have been a faster pacing of events though and I don't think that this was done as well as it could have been. The movie beginning is not thrilling enough though and I wish that it were more filled with action. Instead we get a man named Joe Beck waking up in the morning still feeling drowsy. So that is what should have been changed to hook the audience in right away the moment the story starts.

My kids are now out in the backyard looking for Pixies.I think I can relate to poor Joe as he is an everyman. I used to work with my dad in his garage as a mechanic but I never could get the hang of it. I'm now in IT (my fingers are probably blocker than even Joe's) and it was great seeing the relationship the father/son had.I think there needs to be more independent animation as all I ever see is the Penguins of Madagascar or other heavily-marketed ad campaigns. This movie had a heart that was filled with love and still beats strong with me.
... View MoreGood for the little ones! Rented it for the kids and they got a kick out of it.Had some funny animation and interesting sets.Especially liked the "meet the parents" scene.Short enough that we could watch in just over an hour.Cool to hear Christopher Plummer's voice as pixie king, wish he was in it more.Plot was simple so even my youngest could pay attention! Not one of these animated movies where they break in to song every 2 minutes.Loved the jazz music for the soundtrack! Would rent again for the kids.
