What the..., 22 April 2009

Author: chocho-10 from Hungary

Seriously... what the hell was this? I have this movie from a magazine's DVD, and I wasn't really emotionally ready for 6 years to watch it, but now, by a sudden idea, I sat down and did put it in. It was a huge mistake...

... first of all, I don't really understand why did they drop Marco Polo, the legendary sailman into this story. The whole thing has NOTHING to do with his journeys, and there is actually no link between any fables about Polo's life. Okay, I see, they'd like to do something original, but how is that when the movie is just a re-cut of an other cartoon from the early '70's? I don't know....

After I've put myself through the bad story and voice acting (okay, the second might be the problem of the Hungarian dub, but I'm not sure), I had to realise, how ugly are the drawings are. There were some good parts, but those were from the original cartoon, so the new stuff was complete garbidge. And the script... is just bad. VERY bad! I could continue it all day, but I won't. It makes no sense. This is a bad cartoon, and if you have a soul, you're not gonna let your children watch this sh*t.

Chocho 2/10 (the songs are fine)
