Latte & the Magic Waterstone

A very cool and at the same time informative fairy tale for the youngest and not only about climate changes on our Earth. Water shortage, droughts all over the world are an ongoing problem. It depends on us how we continue to shape our planet. From the technical side, a very nice animation, detailed fur details. I RECOMMEND this ani animation movie.

Surprisingly good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

The beginning is a little rough as they're establishing the world and lore of "The Magic Waterstone", and they come REALLY close to an underlying racism metaphor a couple of times, but having watched the entire movie, it doesn't seem like it panned out.

The characters are just grumpy and likeable enough that each sort of has its own charm. I would have appreciated more finely tuned characters, but the cg aesthetic does seem to make up for it.

It's not a great movie by far, but I think it is good enough that younger audiences will like it and it is well enough composed that adults would be able to watch it with their kids without being too bored.

The characters were all very well defined. It's really great to see a female lead who is plucky and brave and drives the action! I think adults will enjoy this as much as the kids do.

Latte and the Magic Waterstone was honestly kinda boring.

It had a plot that could've worked out, if it wasn't for the numerous gaps in its logic and explanation that personally ruined the movie. I think the uninspired, boring story writing was probably the worst aspect of the movie overall. The characters did their job, but they weren't really memorable or stuck to you well.

The only thing that the movie was able to knock out of the park, however, was definitely the graphics. Each scene was definitely fresh and vivid with colour, and the textures of the things in the world were really high quality. However, the animation part of the graphics weren't great and I definitely saw better, especially when it came to lip-syncing.

Overall, an honest middle-of-the-road movie experience. It's a great movie for kids, and has a few nice values and meanings, but for older kids and adults, the movie certainly felt unfinished and rushed to some extent.

This is a mean and nasty film, the way the adult characters speak to the child characters makes you understand why the child characters are all bullies! The creatures all have a really mean spirited and negative attitude and at one point they make fun of another's accent! After that I turned it off, there was no message to be gained from this film let alone family-fun entertainment.
