Gatos no Museu

I joined IMDB just to warn people about this movie.

If there's someone you genuinely hate tell them to see this movie.

Terrible animation, terrible voice over, painful storyline ... painful in general.

I can't believe I spent money on seeing it.

My kids begged me to leave.

That's time I'll never get back.

Picture this... the worst thing you've ever seen.

The worst.

Did any cinemas even view it before adding it to their movie showings?

I've never left a bad review in my life. But it would be actually wrong of me to say nothing.

Save your money. Save your time.

Not just disappointing actually shockingly bad. Don't do it to yourself or anyone you love.

What starts off a bit of an adventure turns out is pretty much no way connected to the main story apart from two characters. After they abandoned that idea they create a plot line to change the scene to a completely different country. Here it then basically became a russian propaganda video. If this was made by the Heritage gallery then I wouldn't be surprised. The plot then dissolved into loads of sub plots that have no purpose, they introduce a love interest for the main character for no interest and then the plot twist at the end is so stupid you question if you fell asleep and missed a bit.

I knew that russian animations isn't known to be top notch but man...this is terrible on every level. Story is nonsense, visuals are outdated, humour is nonexistent and the pacing is all wrong. It looks like an overlong episode of other mediocre russian cartoons like Masha & Bear or Booba from like 20 years ago. It is frankly embarrassing that such a poor movie was on theaters. My 6 y/o daughter wanted to see this but she found it boring as well. Don't waste your money or time on this. Definitely one of the worst animated movies I've ever seen in my whole life. Please please don't let your kids watch this,

We took our grandchildren, ages 8 & 6, to see this film. They enjoyed the story, characters & could identify some of the paintings being featured, especially the 'Mona Lisa'! The central character experiences quite a few hair-raising adventures, and must work his way between the demands of friendship and danger, and is finally rewarded by the love of a beautiful lady.

We also enjoyed the film, having visited The Hermitage in St. Petersburg several times, pre-COVID19.

If I had any criticism, it would be the voices chosen for English-Language dubbing. A bewildering mix of Irish, Scots & Middle American do not sit well with the characters & there are more than enough well trained voiceover actors to be found in either Russia or the Baltic Republics who would have done a far better job.

I feel like kids films are going to be a trial ground for producers, companies and studios to see if audiences will consume AI content without noticing it's AI. That's what this movie felt like...a film written, structured, and performed by AI...and there's a couple of others I've watched on Netflix recently that feel similar.

It felt extremely unemotional and detached. The structure felt formulaic but in a way that just didn't feel like humans were behind it making the said formulaic mistakes, if that makes sense? Performances felt like they were built on a voice artist recording their voice for 2 hours and then AI increased the vocabulary and filled in the blanks. Just an incredibly aloof feeling watching this. My 4 year old said it was boring. Kids are human too and know when something is wafer thin.
