Not as good as "Son of the Stone" After a great shock to me "Son of the Stone" This film is a disappointment. Instead of a fantasy, magical atmosphere, we now have a very conventional narrative with weak animation. In addition to bad visual images and without strong music.
The main villain this time is a one-eyed giant, whose racial name the cartoon seems to be trying to pass off as his own name. In fact, in the Caucasian legends, there are a lot of snags. Artists tried to refer something unusual, unlike Koschei or Nightingale-Robber, but it turned out somehow not very. The squint here looks like a bear with disheveled hair on its head and, for some reason, a red nose. And although he voices the monster George Millar, he makes a weak impression. Not only the appearance of the character itself affects, but also the general animation, which sometimes limps.
Already in the first minutes, viewers will be surprised that children playing in the background jump up and down, without synchronization with other parts of the background. Armed cavalry, climbing the mountains, also looks skittish. And a short scene with cows generally looks cheap. Apparently, the budget for the cartoon was allocated much less than for the first part.
But the main failure of “Son of the Stone and the Giant” is the wit of the protagonist, who is actually not so smart, he is just lucky. Get him at least a little smarter snag - and that's all, the song is sung. Seeing the reaction of the monster to his own defeat, you do not even know what to be more surprised: the misunderstanding of the naivety of the script. This is certainly not a victory that will cause you surprise and delight.
Knowing what could have turned out much better, I put an average estimate.
