Toupie et Binou, le film

The original series never took itself too seriously, and what made it unique was the lack of dialogue - most of the animal characters just made funny frowns or giggled, or did something altogether weird. That simplicity coupled with the psychedelically vibrant places they'd conjure up from everyday household locales, made this show an absolute treasure. The fact that they'd finish the journey every episode in just under 5 minutes made it than much more fun. It was exactly what being a child with a creative and overflowing imagination felt like - there were no rules and it was all a little goofy.

So a full feature length movie was maybe going to be a little bit of a challenge to maintain that same type of vibe. And without wanting to be too negative, I have to say that the movie didn't quite recapture that magic. The dialogue amongst the characters was way too constant and typical, and I found most of them rather annoying; even Toopy seemed way more self-centered than I ever remembered. The storyline and the imagery was just so so, but nothing that I found overly memorable.

But on the positive side, the release of this movie made my kids and I go back and watch many of the original episodes again and we all fell in love again with what will always be a wonderfully original show.

Personally I wished the teaser trailer of said movie could have cameo characters in the background including...

FIRST ROW: Becky, Little Ellen, Little Helen, Freckle (from Little Ellen); Bobby, Lola, Juliette (from Berry Bees); Rebecca, Hailey, Aliya (from Hailey and the Hero Hearts)

SECOND ROW: Blaine (from Nelly the Knight); Leo (from Il Mondo Di Leo); Casey, Paloma, Piper (from 2D-ified Piper's Pony Tales); Jo, Twyla, Emilia, Zoe, Bike Bob (from Topo Gigio Cartoon)

THIRD ROW: Ollie, Pixie, Alice (from Go Away Unicorn!); Abigail, Pru, Lucky (from Spirit: Fast Friends)

FOURTH ROW: Addison, Brandon, Luke, Nendia, Skye, Graham, Hugo, Michaela, Kaia, Eliot (from Gisele's Mashup Adventures)

FIFTH ROW: Arnold, Carlos, Dorothy Ann, Jyoti, Keisha, Ralphie, Tim, Wanda (from Rides Again Joanna Cole Specials)

Me and my family loved this its super nostalgic and I love the addition of new characters, and i love the colors and its very dreamy! Would definitely recommend to families and anyone who loves kid shows for the nostalgia. Its very cute and funny and i rlly loved that little plot twist at the end, and the different personalities of the characters and how it had references of old episodes and other shows. To anyone who doesnt enjoy this movie has a serious problem because how could you not love this there isnt anything wrong with this movie! It's entertaining, hooking and funny. Thanks for reading this review and make sure to watch this movie!

This movie was absolutely one of the greatest movies I have ever seen as a professional casual movie watcher. Seeing this movie brought me back to my childhood and I had easily the best hour and a half in a long while. The plot is very easy to follow while it caters to all audiences, this being the younger audiences or the older audiences who grew up watching the show (like myself). The characters are all pretty good albeit Dorothy's phone obsession can get a bit tiring at the end. However, the way Toopy and Binoo are portrayed brought the magic of what I watched as a kid and I had a very good time being a kid again seeing 2 of my favourite TV characters hit the big screens. This movie better win the Best Animated Film or else we need to riot. As well, anyone who doesn't give this movie a 4/5 or higher (or an 8/10 higher) has 0 braincells and their opinion should be highly ignored as they are slandering arguably the best movie of 2023.

This movie was my childhood show and I was super excited to watch it, but it didn't turn out to be as good as I though it would. There were some scenes that were boring and stretched out, the plot wasn't that great, the additional new characters were unnecessary and kind of annoying and the movie was quite boring in general to those who are older than five. There were also some good thing too, though. The animation was better than it was in the TV show, there were some funny scenes and Toopy and Binoo haven't changed a bit. Overall I give it a 4/10. It's meant for young children and die hard fans.
