Not For Me

[Calaboss · 4/10 · 7 October 2017]

This is a cartoon, excuse me, animated movie, from Brazil. It is called Worms, or Earthworms: The Movie, depending on where you saw it. It uses a combination of stop motion and computer 3D animation. It has an animated "look" that does not appeal to me. I think the first time I saw this look was in Chicken Run (2000). I'm not sure if this look is achieved through design or financial necessity, but I'm not digging it.

It's good vs evil, worms vs pill bugs, and the whole affair has very little to entertain an adult mind. I'm a long way off from being five or six years old, so I don't know how it plays out for them. Although, with the prominence of snot and drool, the producers are working hard to entertain that particular audience.

Originally in Portuguese, I saw the English dubbed version. No voices I could recognize here. You won't find Tom Hanks or James Earl Jones in this for sure. We are used to just about anything being anthropomorphized for the screen, and they are reaching as low as you can go regarding which creatures you wish to see acting human. I mean, it's worms doing the kissing here. C'mon.

I'm not sure how much kids will like this, but their parents watching with them will just be waiting for this thing to be over.

THE WORLD IS FULL OF WORMS

[nogodnomasters · 3/10 · 26 June 2019]

A group of worm children who like to play "worm ball" (something similar to rollerball but without James Caan) find themselves on the surface fighting against a Rolli Polli who can hypnotize worms and turn them into zombies. The worms have been using the Rolli Polli as the ball in their games, so you can understand the revenge factor. They use discarded toys and items in the surface world.

The characters just didn't grab me. Junior is the center of the film. He is the kid that has the rich parents and neat toys, but he doesn't fit in. His mom doesn't want him to get dirty, perhaps the funniest aspect of the film. This is a Brazilian made film. It is in English except for some of the soundtrack songs. Go watch Disney's "Descendants" or "Strange Magic" instead.

Cute...

The graphic is fantastic, visually beautiful, well done and neat, the little worm are cute, the script left something to be desired, too cliché, after an uninteresting time, but it should please the children, as it has enough action and persecution, that cute message on Final...
