Butterfly adventure excites familiar and safe routes and looks a little clumsy. The surprise is served by a species of bad bird. It’s a habit!
Animated
Butterfly adventure, directed by Sophie Roy. Allowable. 82 min. ★★
A bug’s perspective is known from many animated films for the whole family. On a butterfly adventure the world is viewed both from the air and from the ground.
It’s the case that the main characters Robin and Martti are butterflies that can’t fly. Robin’s wings are not like others, Martti, on the other hand, is still a caterpillar. Despite their limitations, the two are thirsty for adventures.
So, when the time for the annual great migration of the monarch butterfly colony arrives, the two join in as stowaways. On the way to Mexico, they collide with Jennika, who has a tough reputation but is afraid of high places.
Butterfly adventure is a Canadian-German collaboration. Supervisor Sophie Royn first-time guidance is a straightforward description of growth, where familiar themes come to the surface.
Robin, Martti and Jennika find strength in friendship to overcome the obstacles they encounter on the way, and believing in yourself is the key to a better tomorrow. They are right.
Scriptwriter by Heidi Foss the background is strongly in comedy, but on the journey of the monarch butterflies, humor has been sprinkled in quite sparingly. The general mood is more friendly than mischievous.
The story follows a familiar and safe route anyway. It is therefore also suitable for a younger audience.
The visual aspect leaves much to be desired. It’s as if they didn’t quite know how to decide whether to go cute or try something more personal.
The end result is a bit clumsy, both in terms of the characters and, for example, the movement and movement of the butterflies.
Toki Robin and the partners also face dangers on the way. The villain section of the film is represented by a trio of birds stalking butterflies, with something left in their beaks from previous migrations. One even got a scar covering the entire eye from a butterfly wing strike.
It’s about the bad guys A butterfly adventure the only real departure from the familiar and the accustomed.
It makes even the amateur bonkers rub their eyes and use their imagination binoculars in the darkness of the movie theater: instead of the usual avian villains in movies, i.e. vultures or hawks, the obvious villains are the exciting ones!
