DUDU S @Dudu4k 11/23/2020 Muito fraquinho, não acrecenta em nada, não é engraçado e animação parece ser antiga See more 03/02/2020 The movie is a little shining bright pearl, considering the story it tells and the way the plot is developed. The animation studio provided a very good art direction in the overall, there's a lot of attention for the details and the usage of the colours' palette is very precise and accurate. Definitely an overrated movie See more Read all reviews
