Xico - O Cachorro Mágico

(English below)

La trama es contradictoria y apenas sobre Xico, la calidad de la animación oscila entre decente e embarazosa, es bien obvio que los escritores no entienden que es el fracking porque lo describieron como un antivaxer describe las vacunas.

Y lo más horrible la película parece usar la raza como un símbolo de la moralidad de sus personajes.

Pero me gustó El Tlacuache, él fue fantástico, estuve completamente absorto cada vez el estuvo en la pantalla.

The plot is contradictory and Hardly about Xico, the quality of animation varies between decent and cringeworthy and its very obvious that the writers don't know understand what fracking is because they talk about fracking like an antivaxer talks about vaccines.

Worst of all they use race as shorthand for the morality of the characters.

I did like the possum(el tlacuache), he was great, I was completely absorbed whenever he was on the screen.

At some points the music just cuts off. It was bit bad.

The rating is way too low. Yes, the characters are a bit one-sided, and yes, the story sometimes lacks of consistensy, but it is an animated movie made for children/family. And it woks perfectly in that regards. Visually stunning - a little bit similar to my beloved Tomm Moore movies, magical, and there are symbols everywhere. Culturally I guess is quite nice, but it's not my my place to judge from Europe. And it teaches a very important lesson.

It's a political anti-hydraulic fracturing mess. Whoever wrote this was awful and did absolutely no research into the process of extracting gold or where it can be found. The music is bad enough it sounds like I made it and that's horrible. The lines are so bad and if it wasn't for the decent animation it would be better to watch Dora the Explorer as at least it has facts in it.

A girl, a dog and their best friend set out to save a mountain from a company greedy for gold. But the key is closer to home, with her helper pup, Xico. Very cute and beautful...

I watched it with my goddaughter, it didn't arouse much interest, despite the colorful and charming graphics, the story full of legends and mysticism, something was missing... A delicate and gentle Mexican production, with social criticism of unbridled modernization and lack of respect for native culture, cute, instructive, colorful, with endearing animals, but regular, for not having touched my heart with the depth I expected...
