Los ilusionautas

This has to be the most entertaining mess of a movie I have seen in a long time.

This 2012 Eduardo Schuldt animated film follows the tradition of his past motion pictures, in that its horrible. His movies are just cynical pieces of trash made to be consumed by little kids who he thinks don't know any better. To be honest, hacks don't bother me, I can watch a cynical product and even kinda of like it, but this is just unbearable.

The movie its as cliché and as forced as a film can be, the editing is just horrible, its like they don't know how to properly cut a film, they leave all these uninteresting and useless scenes in, not only that but they cut the movie in a way that makes you feel like someone is messing with you by skipping chapters with the remote control.

The main characters (who are supposed to be a team of 4 kids for the children in the audience to relate to) are all stereotypes, but they don't do anything with them, there is no development in any way, at first they all hate each other but as soon as they find themselves in trouble they all suddenly care for each other. They even make two characters fall in love, and guess what, its not well developed either.

The humor is bottom of the barrel, not a single joke works, not one (genuine) laugh in the whole movie, maybe they think that kids are idiots who laugh at stupid things, and they are probably right, but there needs to be more than just that, if not for the parents, for the kids to learn something important or useful.

You may be wondering why do I even care?, after all its just a crappy obscure kids movie, well I care because it was made in Latin America. The director made the first Latin American 3D animated film back in 2005, this is our legacy, people. Some of the worst animated movies ever made.

I recognized some of the voice actors and I feel bad for them, it was a long time ago, but still, they are all good actors, they even made the movie a bit less awkward.

I wish I could say something nice about it, I guess it being somewhat entertaining for bad movie fans could count, but its juts a horrible piece of trash, I think I heard someone say once that you couldn't find a worse animated film even if you looked for it.
