Despite the strong similarity with "Arthur and miniputes" cartoon liked - it is relatively more serious, more adult. It has a place of death, love, and sadness that something didn’t come true, and that makes it vital. But the main villain is a pure tracing from Malthazard (Urdalak) and an infinite number of evil and harmful beech, good for nothing but worship of darkness and guaranteed defeat in the end. Villains are rarely revealed and filled with their own content, well, such is their villainous share. In fact, this story is not about the war of the flower kingdom with the realm of wilting, it is a story about penetrating the edge, about the willingness of a person with a pure heart to help strangers who really owe nothing. It is also the story of a scientist who was so open-minded and free-spirited that he lost his family on the way to his idea. It happens that human relationships keep us on the ground. All this is conveyed beautifully, sensually. You do.
There's a physics error. Forest men live at a different, higher speed than humans, they are equal in speed to birds and insects, but they have two slug friends who thus move at the speed of a hummingbird.
One thing could make this movie better – if the negative side was not so classic, not a textbook evil, but the side that was offended by something, they were not given something, they suffer from some old mistake and therefore do not understand what they are doing. But on this point, alas, again darkness, death, gnats, bats. . .
