The Illusionauts

A kid's story with no argument. This 'movie' really had a director? God damn it! all characters shake too much. Story is too bad... My daughter (10), her friends and cousins (9->12) can't wait more than half an hour to walk out... sorry... actually... they run out. Story bad, director worst, characters terribly bad... Not even one single good thing. It was actually a waste of money. I can't believe that someone with the ability to make a cartoon picture can throw the opportunity doing something so wrong. Thinking of it, just creeps me out. I'm not going to blame the fact that it was made in a up growing nation, because there are retards in everywhere... but I can't believe someone could produce this kind o SH.. One last thing... why is not a 0 (zero) to qualify this? I have to put 1, because I can't put a lower one.

Setting aside all the blatant flaws, such as the utterly insane attempt at a plot or the phoned-in voice acting, this film contains some of the most awful CGI I've ever seen. Every single character has weird floaty eyes where their irises regularly float out of their eye sockets.

It's incredibly disconcerting and I'm sorry I can't describe the effect better. All I can say is that it looks like the character's faces were designed by someone who has never made eye contact with another living human being. Once you notice the weird eyes (and you will within 5 minutes) you'll spend the rest of the movie being freaked out by them.

Fortunately you won't be missing much because the rest of the show is abysmal. It's a complete nonsense story about hating Jules Verne and trying to satirize European politics. Neither topic is a good basis for a kids' movie.

I like animated movies a lot. And VERY VERY rarely I do not watch a movie till the end, even if it is not very good.

I registered to this website just for this review: I do not remember to have ever watched a worse animated movie. I had to stop at 45 min (I resisted so long just because I was bored and needed to watch something, but the movie was more boring than my previous boredom). The animation is really bad. As the previous review say, yes, you can see that the animators put lot of effort in it, and you can see that it was NOT enough. "they put lot of effort" is enough for amateur theater shows in the local church. Not for a movie. DO you remember those videogames of the past, where the cover was so beautiful and realistic but the animation of the game was totally unrealistic? So is this movie. Beautiful cover, bad animation. The animation is actually so annoying that I had sometimes a sort of seasickness, because the Characters move all the time in a strange way. The story is stupid and narrated in a complicated way. The voices are sometimes annoying. The gags are repetitive and of bad taste. Or I should say bad smell, as the main gag of this movie is a kid who farts. nope. And all is a plagiarism of other movies. Not in the funny way that other movies do. Just in a stupid way, to sell something which alone cannot be sold because has got no value by itself.

I am sure there are bad movies. But to make all this effort in an animated movie, and get such a result, one must really want to fail.

I remember watching this movie over the summer and seeing the Shakespeare puns was very bad ( I like reading). You call this a movie ( it didn't even have a plot ). It also didn't make sense at all ( -3)

So confusing and didn't have a thread... it just jumped from one scene to the oder with no correlation sometimes. It was boring, had some jokes for grown ups. The scenes in slow motion didn't make sense, they looked like the movie wasn't working properly. My nephew only liked a couple of parts with the puppy. It was difficult to relate to the characters and the adults had a fake french accent that made it difficult to understand them. I don't recommend it for children under 7 and I can't imagine an 8 or 9 year old enjoying it. Overall, just a messy movie with nothing interesting to tell and nothing that would keep the child interested. I enjoy a good animated movie, like Epic or Despicable me. This one wasn't only bad. Very bad movie.
