To quote writer , director and producer Guillermo Del Toro "Animation is not a genre for kids. It's a medium for art, it's a medium for film, and I think animation should stay in the conversation." this is a quote that he used when his film version of Pinocchio started winning lots of awards. I bring this up because film fans i've found another film that perfectly captures the tone and spirit of that quite perfectly and so then join me as I review the film that proves that animation can be more then just something for kids with the film in question being called simply just "Mad God" enjoy.
The plot of this film is an assassin travels through a nightmare world trying to find out how someone can let this level of madness and torture happen. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty rather good and while it can be very hard to work out what the actual plot is when we do get a plot it is genuinely quite entertaining and as well as being very engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
In a rather bizarre move this film features no cast members and while there are people who do appear in live action roles in the film those roles are so small and minimal that it's hardly worth crediting them. I do think that having none of the characters speak in this film was a rather bold move as it now allows the auidence to imagine ourselves as the characters and so we can now imagine what we'd do in the situations in this film and that is something that just wouldn't be possible if this film had a full voice cast.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films live action cast turning in some really good performances which was something that I wasn't expecting to be the case as pretty much all of them are either little known actors and actresses or aren't professional actors at all.
Doing the animation for this film is of course the legends and the greats that are currently over at Tippett Studio. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good which is even more shocking since the entire first half of the movie was made thirty years ago and it still holds up really well.
As I said the entire first half of the movie was shot thirty years prior to the films release with shooting mostly taking place on weekends during production of Robocop 2. However when Jurassic Park came out the film was put on hold because this films writer , director , producer and several other things Phil Tippett believed that stop motion animation was a dead art form it wasn't till years later when people at his own animation studio convinced him to finish the movie and thanks to Kickstarter he was finally able to finish the film thirty years after he started filming it.
What makes this production even more incredible is that alot of the crew that worked on the film were not only volunteers but also weren't trained in stop motion animation. This is something that really doesn't show at all as everything looks like it was made by people that no what there doing with the film also dripping in the love that each and every one of these artists poored into the film which only goes to show you that alot of this films crew had a true passion for this film and that is something that you just don't see in alot of films at all.
One of the things that I didn't really like about this film is the fact that for a horror movie there was nothing in this movie that really scared me. Which I get it horror is subjective but when your making a horror movie you have to make sure to scare people and when you don't do that you've failed at being a horror film I also really didn't like the fact that this film just stops with the story not really coming to any sort of conclusion which is a shame because the film had the chance to do some great social commentary but chose not to end it's story in any way whatsoever.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty three minuets and fifty eight seconds. Which was a tad bit on the long side for this film to last since the film really doesn't have alot their interms of plot or story to cover that large amount of running time and as such all we are left with is a bunch of scenes that don't really add anything to the actual plot of the film and as such this film should have been at the longest one hour long since that's all the amount of plot and story that this film really has enough running time to cover.
So now then since this is a horror film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this every film were in all honesty not that bad. With this films kills being very creative and all of this films kills really do take full advantage of the fact that this is an animated film and so they do kills that you couldn't do in live action which really is always fun to see in any film whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall i'm glad that I finally saw this movie since it is a truly good horror movie to watch as well as being one that i'd highly recommend that anybody watch but it's not that good of a movie at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
Noe then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because the official Scream fandom wiki page actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
