Legend Quest: The Legend of La Nahuala

I like the movie a lot. It really outlines some of the traditions in Puebla. It mixes mystical with laugh. Very good for kids, not violent, a little scary. But when you are seeing the movie, is like you are getting transported in time. When it gets translated to English, I recommend to see it. I love the Veracruz character, it makes the movie a little humor spicy. On the other hand, mixes the Spaniard system of beliefs with the native Mexican way of exorcism, and combined they achieve a common objective in the fight against evil. There are some peculiarities in the film which will remote you also to your childhood and your family relations. Enjoy.

A wonderful movie, very Mexican, in the tradition of being Mexican. Appreciating the movie, however demands certain amount of culture (particularly Mexican) and a knowledge of Mexican legends. The performance of the actors and actresses is absolutely traditional Mexican and it takes a Mexican to really understand it. I hope they make more movies like this. The amount of Mexican legends and traditions is vast and it is very refreshing to see something like this (as opposed to all the trash from commercial cinema aimed at children). There is nothing scary about this movie, it is completely clear that it is pure fantasy and based on traditional legends. The really scary part of this movie is how it has "upset" so many adults, confirming once more, the lack of sense of humor and ultimately how devoid of common sense are so many people in this "new" era of "marketing at all costs".

I'm a big fan of Mexican movies, but this was a total crap.

Bad and dumb jokes, so few laughs. I think this is the main factor and it failed at it. Not even recommended for kids.

Bad animation (3 fps approx), if you're going to place a 2D cartoon in to the cinema market at LEAST make sure it has 20 fps or more, so it won't look sooo old.

I give 3 stars to this movie for the drawings of puebla which were very accurate and the voices of characters which were good, but besides of that, the movie is a waste of time, do any other thing but don't watch this.

I don't want to be called "malinchista", I would really like an animation industry in Mexico, but (with this kind of movies) It seems an impossible dream.

"The Nahuala's legend" shows several Mexican customs. Unfortunately, It just focus in this aspect. The plot is lame, but in the opinion of several compatriots, It's wonderful just because the character eat "alegrías". That's why the Mexican movies are mediocre.

The characters are not funny and their horrible voices are annoying. The animation level IS NOT PROFESSIONAL. Sixty years ago, the Fleischer brothers developed better animation than the one We can see in this movie.

If you want to support the Mexican movies, demand for quality in them.

The movie represents a magic world of Puebla, Mexico about 1700. It is full of colors and some of the most important buildings of the city appear.

The film is Plenty of Mexican symbols and folklore. It makes the film quite interesting and different.

The legend can be little bit scary for small kids because touches some of the black legends of Mexico. However is not so bad.

The actors who lend their voices make a very interesting performances, almost all of them are very well recognized.

Special mention for the music, which is delicious.

I am afraid that not Mexicans won't completely understand it and therefore won't enjoy fully the film, nevertheless, it should be seen, because it will give the opportunity to learn a little bit more about Mexico in a nice way.
