Barry, el Rey de la Disco

Bjarne is coming of age. His mother is immensely frightened that her little worm will be unable to drop his childhood follies and focus on his new work at a waste processing plant. Unfortunately for her she is right as Bjarne indulges into his new passion: creating a disco band and scooping up a huge prize at the talent competition. This leads him to create Sunshine Barry and the Disco Worms. On bass: his best friend the extremely overweight Jimmy. On guitar: metal-head Niller: On backup vocals: pretty-worm Gloria. On drums: secretary music-extraordinaire Donna.

A mildly entertaining affair, which starts of a bit tedious and uninspiring, but actually manages to hit the funk somewhere towards the end with a couple of nicely sold gags plus surprisingly well-scripted (albeit extremely predictable) plotting. Even though the characters are mostly unsympathetic (save for maybe the characters of Niller and Donna) the movie manages to hit home with the boogie. I really must say that I was taken slightly by surprise, as I was expecting a semi-digested turd, but instead actually found myself enjoying the final third of the movie.

The movie will never get applauds for innovative script or spectacular jokes, while the charm is all over the place, but the essential question is whether the disco fever will channel through your body by the end. In my case I would have to say yes.

I don't know why most of the reviews are overhyping this film. The characters aren't really interesting and dull and the plot is really unoriginal and its just a ripoff of Flushed Away and Bee Movie and every second it just starts to become even more worse with stuff like horrible political messages and stereotypes.

Animation is really bad and the characters have weird movements that fell into the uncanny valley and the backgrounds look like plastic (even in 2008 there were films with better animation than this) the character design looks like it had potential but got messed up in a horrible film.

Honestly, I was kind of excited about this one at first. I mean, worms doing disco? Sounds like a hilarious concept, right? But man, this movie really missed the mark for me. First off, the animation feels a bit outdated, and not in a charming way. It just lacks that polish that keeps you visually engaged. The worm characters, while trying to be cute, ended up feeling a bit bland and one-dimensional. I can't even remember their names! The syory just drags on and gets super predictable. The jokes and puns really don't land either, they're cliché and honestly cringy, which is a shame because I was hoping for some clever worm-related humor. The music, which should've been the highlight given the disco theme, was mostly forgettable, and it felt like they were trying too hard to make it catchy but ended up with tunes that made me want to zone out.

This film had a fun idea but just didn't deliver. It sure had potential, but it fell flat, leaving me wishing I'd spent my time watching something else.

My children are 5 and 3, and they both are disappointed with me for my selecting this for them.

This is the story about friends grounded to the corporation jobs. In their world you cannot be somebody if you do not agree with the corporationism. Work, eat, sleep are only allowed activities. Is it not the same as we have in our world ?. Film required deep understanding and this is not film for young children because they will not able to understand what is going on. This is not film for everybody.
