An interesting pastiche of Ghibli animation. The story may hold up children, not too complicated and not much moral, bright characters. But what's most striking is the producers' apparent greed. They willingly release and promote their work in a terrorist country, one that continues its violent invasion, mercilessly bombing Ukrainian cities, killing innocent civiluans, killing and kidnapping Ukrainian children. By choosing to distribute this film in such a country, they show disregard for the suffering and destruction inflicted on Ukraine daily. It's disheartening to see art used this way. Truly, pecunia non olet-money doesn't stink, even when it's bloodstained!

For almost the entire film, I had the feeling that the script, scenery and actors were just the result of the work of artificial intelligence. So strange, unreal and inhuman film turned out. I do not want to say that ChatGPT or Midjourney will do better, but... Only at the end of the movie the director has added a little of humanization.

Wes Anderson has created a film that is probably best for theatergoers or people who are fans of a Theater. A sort of response to Damien Chazelle's Babylon, probably even with some hint about cinema-theater relations, since invited Margot Robbie on episodic role for some reason.

Strange...very strange movie.

When I seen the series for the first time, I mean 1st season, it had interesting scenario, great characters, actors behind the screen, nice humor, amazing illustrations!

The ending of 2nd season has opened a great story of politics in the style of GoT, and it was excited and promising!

But what happened with the series by 4th season? Where is humor, scenario, characters? It turned into boring long playing animation with absolutely unclear plot and scenes of the stories. A lot of actions, but no sense at all...

Did the authors decide to make a joke and give us a real real Disenchantment?

2024 UPD: 5th season of the series even worse than 4th.
