Why?
It just looked interesting, and the remote was lagging, and I didn't want to have to watch it struggle while I tried to pick something to watch.
What in the world?
A group of hunters take a herd of elephants back to the city. Then all chaos breaks loose and that's when I lost track of what was supposed to be happening.
Personal thoughts
It had its moments. The movie was originally in Iranian so that makes sense when thinking about some of the lines of the movie. The translation to English is usually a little rocky sometimes. "Have you seen the popcorn magic?" was probably the best line I have ever heard whether intentional or not. I appreciated when the guy sang about this little girl's back story and then after his song was over immediately asked who she was. Did the dude not think that it might be just a tad weird to sing to someone about someone they don't even know. Also, the birds in this movie were so creepy. They killed people and could imitate the voices of others. Those are important plot points I think and props to whoever had the idea of killer birds (Yes yes Alfred Hitchcock).
Score
I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. It wasn't that bad but the animation was atrocious and I found myself constantly confused. It was pretty chaotic and threw curveballs at people all the time so that was nice. It did gloss over a lot of thinks so the pacing was pretty fast and you have to be thinking about what you are being shown or they eventually end up telling you what happened to someone or why they are thinking the way that they are.
Watch what you love,
