Hey guys!
Just got finished watching Frankenweenie
If you haven't heard about it it's a black and white claymation film that's a bit dark
I've actually been wanting to see this for a long time....
It seems like nobody has seen it because I never heard a single thing about it from anyone
But I'm obsessed with animation and that morbid, dark kinda look in the few animated movies it exists in so I kept the mission of watching Frankenweenie in the back of my head just in case an opportunity arose
So overall I wouldn't recommend the movie to the average Joe
It kinda leans toward a child audience(not in an awful humor way though which kills it for adults)
So grown adults might get bored if they don't love animation
when it comes to kids the movies kind of slow so that could be a turn off for the energetic, hyperactive, little brats(also the whole movies in Black and White so that might kill it for kids too)
So it's kind of hard to say what sort of audience I would recommend this movie to
I liked it
I didn't love it
But none of my problems with it are much of a deal breaker
I thought the dog was the greatest character
They did a wonderful job making him act like a dog.... he was adorable and constantly excited.... hes a cheerful guy and the scenes revolved around him just doing stuff are some of my favorites(and he can't talk so that's saying something)
So I think they got the dog down perfectly
The character design's were all well varied in appearance which is good
However personality-wise almost all the characters are extremely unlikable..
I mean I think this was done on purpose but you need some balance
There were likable characters but they were so underdeveloped it didn't balance anything out at all
I felt like I was staring and characters I hated the whole movie which isn't good
I was slightly tear jerked a couple times though which does indicate some good writing and characters(these tear jerks were very very slight though)
If your an animation queer I would see it.... I'm happy I saw it
If not I would say skip it.... as sorry as I am to say it I think many people wouldn't care for this movie
It's not an awful movie but it's just not great either
Thanks for reading guys
