Really Surprised!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

My son really likes this movie, probably because of the animals and because there is a lot of action, there is always something different happening, few scenes have dialogue only. My son is more interested in this movie than in other animated movies, including lots of Pixar animations.I didn't like this movie at first, but after having seen it about 20 times now I started to enjoy it. It is true that the plot isn't easy to follow, it is unusual in many aspects, but for some reason the movie gets better every time you see it. For people with young children, who watch a movie over and over, that is a must!

First of all, it IS a good entertainment!The characters are lovable, the jokes and gigs are really funny.And this movie needs some education to understand and enjoy it. It is full of references to literature, and squeeze the other "big" films out totally.Nevertheless, it is true, it has some flops. The music score -except the symphonic parts- are really disturbing, nothing to do with the story... Also, it tries to compete with high-budget US movies, in style, attitude, and so on. And this is a failure. It could have been a really nice, and meaningful, funny and entertaining NOT Hollywood movie. I never understood, why it is necessary to force jokes or fake funny parts into every movie, not to take anything seriously...However, despite these, it is still enjoyable, and entertaining. And there are interesting twists...:)So, to sum up, it is great for older children, or never grown up adults...:)

Over the Christmas period we've taken our sons to see quite a few movies. I thought we reached the bottom of the barrel last October when we went to see 'space chimps' but that was long before Donkey Xote (DX). Let's start with the positives. The animation isn't bad whatever some reviewers here may have written. It's not cutting edge and is a little on the simple side maybe but it's easy on the eye. That's it. Everything else is simply awful. I don't know if the original Spanish version makes more sense but the plot is is over complicated, the dialogue impossibly convoluted and the acting voice overs appalling. Watching it is a little like reading obscure eastern European poetry. It seems to be as much an exercise in proving what an intellectually clever chap the director is but in trying so hard to do so shows actually that he's completely clueless. There are characters cropping up in the film that are utterly pointless, don't add to the story and serve to confuse the audience. The script is largely read as if your listening to the kind of live translation service that you hear at news conferences or during UN addresses. some of the voices are so irritating you could easily feel like screaming. The voice over for Don Quixote's horse is, possibly, the most excruciating that I've ever heard. It pains me to say that my boys (aged 3 and 7) enjoyed it. That said they didn't really have a clue what was going on and they will happily sit in front of any cartoon in any language without any complaint. If you're a sentient adult please, please, please give this movie a miss.

After watching many of Hollywood's production. I came to conclusion that many of their movies are a crap. I didn't expect to much from this animation movie, but it's surprisingly good. Although it is a Spanish production I managed to obtain an English synchronized version. This is an old story of Don Quiote pictured on an unusually funny way. If you are full of Hollywood's crap give it a chance, you can't mistake. I know what i like when i see it. Many times I saw some bad comment's and thought i"It's a bad movie", but to some of them I gave a chance and saw that these comments are very subjective nature. As I don't have to much to say and I have to had some 10 lines (admins might reconsider to change that rule), I am no allowed to publish this comment. OK, maybr it's time to set up some alternative to IMDb, something like Wikipedia, but only for movies.
