The French school of animation is all about making money. Multiple state agencies have poured help into this piece of junk. And also typical of the French school of animation, there is no story, only a reinforcement of the old colonial thinking: the curious white man, the happy savages with their strange, yet so very humane reactions, all saying 'see? they're also human!' What is the point of this? The trip? But we are thrown into action from the first minute. Walking the dead ritual? But there is more. So much more for a short feature. The animation is an aberrant mix of animation techniques. Can they do all those? Wonderful. That should be their portfolio to get a job. It can be colorful or monochrome, but in a random way. Yet, the locals are speaking stereotype bad French.
