Buffalo Kids

Loved this movie!

Great to see representation for a disabled child, which resonated deeply with me as I work with disabled kids.

My 5-year-old also enjoyed it.

The plot isn't too deep, but it's one of my favorite animations in a while-heartfelt and entertaining. Some scenes, like those with wolves and guns, were a bit scary for my daughter but not overly so.

She loved the characters, especially Sparky the dog, who was a delightful addition.

A touching, inclusive story that made me teary-eyed in the best way.

One of the best animations I've seen in a while. Agree with the other comment, much better than any recent Disney movie I've watched.

Orphaned siblings Tom and Mary travel to New York to reunite with their Uncle Niall. When their uncle doesn't show up to fetch them from the harbour, they decide to journey to him. A Stray dog befriends them at the harbour, and they decide to look after it until they get to their uncle, and name it Sparky.

With no money for the train, they manage to sneak onto the train with a group of orphans. Among them is Nick, a young disabled boy who is wheelchair bound and unable to speak. Despite his disability, Mary decides to be his friend.

Also on board, are bandits, with the leader serving as the film's main antagonist. When Tom, Mary and Nick get off the train while it is being refueled and the train leaves without them, their amazing adventure begins. Mary's optimism is uplifting and inspirational. And Sparky was so cute!

'Buffalo Kids' is absolutely beautiful with stunning animation, and characters I cared about. There's action, danger, humour, drama and even a bit of suspense in the mix. It might not always be entirely believable, but also keep in mind the film is set in the 19th Century when life was very different. It definitely is a lot of fun, and very entertaining. It is the perfect film for the entire family. This was really special, and I loved every minute.

Adventures, humor, fantasy and action in this 3D cartoon film, this is a blockbuster movie that younger people will appeal. On the day the Statue of Liberty is inaugurated, Tom and Mary, two Irish orphan brothers, disembark in New York to join their uncle in California. To get there, the young people will sneak on a train that is carrying other orphans to be adopted by other pioneers of the Wild West. During the trip they will meet Nick, a new and surprising friend who will change their lives and are pursued buy a gand led by outlaw villain Wilson who bears remarkable resemblance to the late actor Lee Van Cleef. The film is based on authentic events and is dedicated to the memory of the real Nick, director's son Nico, who had the same disease.

Innocence, joy, positivity, adventure, action and emotion are the keys to this spectacular film that in 2024 achieved the best box office opening for a Spanish animated film since 'Mummies'. There's non-stop entertainment with frenetic action, good staging, various Wild West characters modeled after villains, Indians, and adventures of all kinds with three protagonists: the two likeable brothers and their wheelchair friend Nick. Juan Jesús García Galocha, director of Mummies and Pedro Solís Garcia, the multi-award-winning director of ¨Cuerdas¨ (Guinness record for the most awarded short film in the world), direct this exciting animated adventure for the whole family. Buffalo Kids (2024) has ¨the adventure, action and humor of ¨Mummies¨ and the emotion and sensitivity of ¨Cuerdas¨, as explained by Pedro Solís. The film is technically notable with a colorful and popular approach accentuated by contrasts of time and space. The story, with basic positive messages, action enough and continous amusement, it does stand out for its inventiveness in humor, originality or the keys it handles.

There's a good and lively musical score by the presitigious Fernando Velazquez, adding some catching song, such as: "Show Me" . This 'Feel Good Movie' was well directed by Juan Jesús Garcia Galocha and Pedro Solís, getting some deserved nominations in festivals : Goya Awards, Gaudí Awards, Shanghai International Film Festival, London Critics Circle Film Awards . Galocha was the creative director of the first two installments of ¨Tadeo Jones¨ and made the successful ¨Mummies¨. While Pedro Solís has participated as a 3D Artist in the animated shorts "Tadeo Jones" and "Tadeo Jones and the Temple of Doom". With "The Bruxa", his first film as director and screenwriter, he was awarded with the 2011 Goya Award for The Best Animated Short Film and some other important prizes. "The Adventures of Tad Jones" was performed in 2012, film in which he worked as a Director of Production. He has worked as Director of Production, in the space fantasy adventure "Capture the Flag" and the second installment to 2012's "Tad, the Lost Explorer." And of course he made the acclaimed animated short ¨Cuerdas¨. Rating: 8/10 , the movie is dedicated to Nico, who passed away in 2021. A film especially aimed at little ones and lovers of animated action.

I have seen just about every animated mainstream animation I couldfind over many years...I love Brave, The Book of Life, Coco, the Warrior King, just a load of animation...this is special, and I mean that in every sense of the woed. Not only is the art smooth and enjoyable, but is enhances the lovability of almost every character, even the villains. And having the head of the company's son portrayed as Nick in the story, just made the sweetness of this story just that much sweeter As someone who has re-watched Natural Born Killers many times, I love the occasional break from Debbie Downer movies. Watch this movie, then tell me it didn't get you involved... .

Giving this an 8/10 rating

This film is Super fun and charming, just like "DragonKeeper' try and watch the original language version or catch the UK English dub with voices of Alisha Weir, Gemma Arterton, Sean Bean and Stephen Graham and the rest, as the do a bang up top job of it.

Not a boring moment in this film, with so much adventure going on, it packed to the rail road with action and laughs, and the kids are just great, and the look and character designs just simply work, a real wacky Lee Van Cliff looking one here too.

From start to finish, you will be finding joy and it does not mess about either, no preachy message here, just some quite wacky stunts, mostly from the wheelchair action, even the villains are well likeable and done well. Do not miss this film, I am going to see this again. Spanish animated films are doing really good things and have been for the past years now, Warner Bros have got into a good thing with these collaborations, and are up there with Disney, Dreamworks and Illumination, this film really needs to be a hit and we can see a lot more good cinema like this.

Go see this film and support good animation and good films.
