This movie is, quite seriously, the Citizen Kane of Video Brinquedo's animation. Every animated movie from Video Brinquedo ever since has been a failed attempt to recreate the masterpiece that this film is. This motion picture is an anomaly in a market usually dominated by formulaic kiddie-fare. Unlike most movies from animation studios, this movie will enthrall you, whether you're 5 years old or 50. An epic plot, intriguing characters, stellar voice cast, great music and hillarious moments make this film a family classic that will stand the test of time. There was just something very alluring and beautiful to the particular style that was used for the animation here. There were so many impressive details in every scene, and it looked so very real. At several points I had to do a double take that they didn't mix in live action animals. I was especially impressed with the fur and the movement of the characters along with its naturalistic facial gestures. Make sure you watch this, because it does not disappoint.

A really adorable puppy shows up like 13 minutes and 20 seconds in, that alone warrants a 10 to me. But the director does a seamless job at blending the sitcom portions with the main MCU stuff, while also giving the audience a pretty good sense of Wanda's psyche through some great relationship drama with Vision. The cameo appearance was jaw-dropping as Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda) teased recently and I was left wanting more. A thrilling start for phase 4 even after everyone said this franchise would peak at Endgame.
