Our Drawings

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)

I didn't think a movie could possibly be this bad but Calobi (the director) proved me wrong! This is the worst movie I have ever seen, not even megamind vs the doomsyndicate is this bad.

This movie's message is horrible solely because of the execution.

Would you believe me if where to say that this movie starts with 3, yes 3 narrations about the main character, PLUS they change her lore each and every time. They first say that she had a wish come true, then they say that she has a magic pencil, AND THEN they say she suffered from a coma which led to her getting the ability to go into her drawings world.

This movies pacing is god awful it is so insanely fast and so insanely slow at the same time. They just keep speeding through dialogue which makes it so there's hardly ever time to breathe. A lot of the characters monologue in this movie and all of them go on for way too long. Also between almost every single scene there is a narrator telling us how and what the characters are doing instead of just showing us, but god forbid a movie encourage you to think.

The acting is also abysmal and so is the microphone quality, this movie is a musical and imo all of the music sucks in this movie, and it doesn't help with the fact that none of the actors in this movie know how to sing. And as soon as anyone even slightly raises their voice the microphone starts peaking and it hurts my ears.

The comedy in this movie is also awful they use jokes such as and I quote "Are you from Ohio or something?" and the characters don't swear in this movie so instead of saying the-f word the characters say fluff, I mean I get why they don't swear, this is a family movie after all, but if you don't want swearing in your movie then don't have them saying some "alternative" to the actual swear word!

The characters have no believable chemistry at all, they say that they're friends but you don't believe any of their relationships with each other. And it doesn't help with the fact that none of them have personality's and are all one dimensional, and any attempt to flesh them out fall flat because it never gets brought up again nor does it effect them negatively or positively.

This movie has a terrible score. They keep using the same songs over and over and over again, and none of the songs are good, hell they're not even mediocre they all suck.

The ending is very abrupt, after the villain monologues for a bit all of the characters wake up (meaning they where in Paige's drawings world) in their school, look at each other and smile and then the movie ends, with a boom sound effect that they used about a billion times in the movie.

The editing sucks so much, it's such a joke. I'm convinced that the editors were told that they could just do whatever they wanted. Sometimes when one of the 100 villains in this movie (yes this movie has a lot of villains and some of them just disappear and reappear) are talking about what they've done and what they're gonna do, it just cuts to some random characters just looking at them.

Some of the characters in this movie just disappear and reappear with no rhyme or reason whatsoever. It's not even just for plot convenience, because some of them just appear in one shot and then they don't come back for the rest of the scene or movie. And the only character who appears consistently is who else Calobi, who is also Paige's strongest drawing, obviously.

I watched this movie simply because I wanted to rate this movie 1/10. And its biggest crime is being insanely boring and insanely infuriating at the same time. The only, and I mean only time that I even laughed or smiled was in the villains death scene, and I kid you not it was the hardest I have ever laughed when watching a movie, not because it was good but because it was so bad that I loved it, and the best part out of all of it was that it was all played out completely seriously, you truly have to see it to believe it, plus it is the only good part of the movie, ironically.

I think that every single director and aspiring director should see this movie, not to show them how to make a movie, but to show them how not to make a movie.

Please don't watch this movie, watch Whiplash or Spiderman into and or across the spider verse instead.

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.

Here is a list of movies better than this: 1. Food fight 2. The Emoji movie 3. Norm of the north 4. Ratatoing 5. A cars life: Sparky's Big Adventure 6. Hoodwinked 2 7. Chop Kick Panda 8. Life's a jungle: Africa's most wanted 9. Eight Crazy Nights 10. Bug Bites: An Ant's Life 11. Pinocchio: A True Story 12. The Little Panda Fighter 13. Titanic: The Legend Goes On 14. Marmaduke (the one from 2022) By now you've probably noticed that all these films are terrible but at least they don't start 10 times over in the first 4 minutes. I think you see the point I'm trying to make here. This was a very bad film.
