Audience, I want to play a game with you. Turn on an American movie or cartoon and see how long it takes to get a piece of shit. In this case, this time was 10 minutes – long lasted, well done, usually put in 5.
I understand perfectly well that the authors decided to make the cartoon black and white on a special idea, so it was unsuccessful. In the 21st century, this is the reason why black and white films, piano films instead of sound, films with accelerated film, etc. are not made now.
About the plot - solid holes and frank nonsense. Why was the resurrected dog sewn from pieces that killed him? Where did the invisible fish go? I thought it was stolen from a jar, but it just seems to have vanished. What does that have to do with ugly little water monkeys? The boys raised the dead animals, and these AMERICALS came from the advertising poster. What does a giant turtle have to do with the appearance of a kaiju to the original theme?? Why was there a hamster in the story? He didn't do anything, his stupid turtle crushed him and that's it. Why then was there so much pathos to his appearance? Why is a cat suddenly made the main villain out of the blue – he must turn into a demon just because his mistress is bruised in the head? It seems that the authors only wanted to show the resurrection of the dog, and then they simply did not know what to do with these characters, and the cartoon somehow still has an hour to pull. You don’t have any ideas – shoot a short film for 10 minutes.
Separately, I want to say about Tim Burton - he has all the cartoons about deadness. He's a fetishist. And for Burton, the dead is exactly the body, the corpse, falling apart, smelling, vermin, only in his “Nine” was, as an exception, touched on the theme of the soul, in all his other works, an unhealthy love of corruption runs through.
The ending is pure vanilla and stamp. In any movie or cartoon where some miracle, resurrection or superpower is acquired, at the beginning it happens because it was very necessary, and at the end it happens a second time just like this: "Monster in Paris", "Turbo", Indian "Fly", "Ted" and so on.
