Our Drawings

I've seen plenty of bad movies- hell, I've made a few. But, this one takes the cake.

The characters have no personality and are immediately forgettable or annoying, the story is non-existent, the fades to black are SO constant that it's nauseating, the animation makes Foodfight look like Toy Story, musical numbers end as quickly as they begin, there are so many plot inconveniences that either make zero sense, are very frustrating or confusing, the climax is rubbish, the dialogue sounds like an F graded fanfiction, it's only an hour yet it drags on and on, the voice acting is either "eh" or downright abysmal, and things just come right out of nowhere with either minimal explanation or TOO MUCH exposition.

We get told the same story beats over and over again (including the first 5 minutes alone), as if the audience is way too brain dead to see what's going on. It's very frustrating to deal with.

The worldbuilding makes absolutely zero sense; on my first viewing, I couldn't tell if the characters were actually drawings, or that they're in another world, etc. The whole coma thing really confused me.

Our Drawings is a dreadful example of both storytelling, AND filmmaking. I would give credit that only one or two guys made this, and I'm glad their passion project is out; it's a shame the six years was spent on the most confusing, infuriating and braindead schlock I've ever seen.

...I should apologise to Disney's Wish.

This is... a film! Actually, I can barely call it a film

The script follows absolutely no basic plot, we get the same opening monologue about 3 times, and every single time we get it, it introduces the story differently, causing so much confusion and just making the film unbearable. The same shots are used over and over, and the director REALLY likes fading to black for whatever reason.

The voice acting is just absolutely terrible, when characters yell you can hear the microphones peaking, and the emotion just isn't there. Also the character Calobi is just the director's self-insert.

The film repeatedly tries to make some sort of commentary about AI art, tracing art, today's economy, world peace, among other things, but the topics are just dropped and never bought back up again.

I can see that the director wanted this film to have some sort of meaning to it, a deeper message, but everything about it just falls flat on it's face. But hey, if you're looking for a movie to watch while high, this is it.

Here's my review for Our Drawings.

This movie may be one hour long, but it has multiple negative qualities, such as that the pacing of the film can either go at a breakneck speed and all of a sudden get slow and boring, and the story/world-building is also confusing and incoherent at the same time. Also it doesn't take the time to introduce some of the other characters, and rather introduces the same character we already met (Paige) multiple times. I'm curious, who's the name of the furry blue guy with bunny ears or the floating rock guy with sunglasses?

It does have potential, but the execution made it hard to tell what's going on even less than 10 minutes into the movie, and things mostly just happen or even repeat (like Paige's backstory), and some of the characters can be annoying and sometimes obnoxious.

The afterimage effect for the animation also made it harder to watch (especially scenes where characters or the camera move fast). But the animation/visuals itself isn't the worst and can sometimes be passable, but it's not amazing.

The editing is also all over the place too (for example, a scene will fade out even in the middle of a conversation, and it happens often.)

However there are some positives, the parts that I found the most positive and somewhat funny include the Wizard and Beatboxing Puppy characters.

I don't really think this movie's great, and there are definitely multiple flaws that needs to be fixed with the pacing, characters, animation (the afterimage effect), editing, and story/world-building for it to be good, and it's better to watch something else. I'll give it a 2-3/10 for the effort (and Beatboxing Puppy)

First of all, the scriptwriting sounds like an A. I wrote this.

In the first 2 minutes, I noticed some key problems, such as the movie needing to explain literally everything. It explains more than it actually shows. We don't need to know that Paige is good at everything involving art; we need to be shown it. It's not good story-telling to take two minutes to tell the audience how amazing the character is. It felt like a lot of needless lore dumping. A lot of voice acting felt like it didn't fit the characters. The animation felt stiff, with no expression whatsoever. Some of the animation style felt out of place, like Dog's style, which didn't match well with the rest of the movie. The jokes really fell flat, like some really came out of left field.

After reviewing this film, I have concluded that my faith in humanity has conclusively disappeared. I am deeply wounded and I believe I need psychiatric counseling to help me circumvent this horrible experience before I do it myself. The movie has no plot line whatsoever, and is basically a jumbo mess of horrible acting. It claims to be a kids film, but I advocate that it is unsuitable for both children and adults respectively. This film is absolutely violent, and the gore is unbearable. Similarly, the repetitions make this movie a 10 hour loop, providing no satisfaction whatsoever to the audience. Frankly, in conclusion this movie should be classified as a war crime atop the Holocaust or the chemical weapons used by Japan during WWII. My colleague, a psychiatrist, who I showed this movie to even went as far as saying this is a danger to public mental and physical health. In his words, he said, "The government needs to block this movie. It is a danger to society and will induce depression and brain rotting content of its intended audience. It's a felony analogous to Ted Bundy." To conclude, this is a horrible movie and I do not suggest anybody watch this film.
