Absolutely childish cartoon! In today’s dominance of Hollywood aggressively advertised products, shot for which audience it is already unclear, such low-budget, coming out almost without advertising, simple cartoons with two and a half reviews on Kinopoisk, are literally that a breath of fresh air.
“The Incredible Blinky Bill” is an adventure cartoon for family viewing, made in the best traditions of classic children’s films. Here rule friendship, mutual assistance, responsibility and ingenuity. Watching such cartoons is always pleasant and joyful.
For many adults, the story of the adventures of Blinka and his friends may seem boring and naive, but this should be a film designed for children’s perception. As for the cartoon for children, I have absolutely no complaints about Blinky Bill! I hate the modern tendency of adults to complain that cartoons are “too childish.” They should be. What should children watch if all film content is focused on the adult audience? I am disgusted that children’s cartoons began to shove jokes with a double bottom, some allusions, so that the adults who came to the cinema with children giggled at something their own, not understandable to children. I am a supporter of family-friendly movies, i.e. those in which both adults and children laugh together at the same thing. "The Incredible Blinky Bill" is just like that.
In the cartoon, simple graphics, a lot of conventions, but it does not take away soulfulness at all. I can’t say that the cartoon is witty or very funny, but in some places it was really funny. And for viewers who have never lived in Australia, the story of unusual Australian animals living in unusual Australian landscapes, I think, is even more interesting than for the Australians themselves.
With – as it turned out, the national hero of Australia – Blinky Bill, I met only in this cartoon, so I can not judge how faithfully adapted the adventures of the folk favorite. I saw everything on the screen as an original story. And the song about Blinky Bill hooked up, man.
If we talk directly about the content, then the beginning turned out to be somewhat confused and crumpled. Especially with our voice, which in my opinion turned out to be a hell of a failure. Voices are inexpressive, the speech of the heroes at the beginning of the story literally merged into a collective indiscriminate muttering. When the characters in the frame in the course of history became smaller, it became easier and more interesting to watch. But the voices remained questionable.
Summing up, I will say that "The Incredible Blinky Bill" is a fun, not very intricate cartoon with an unbanal story, which is interesting to watch. I highly recommend Blinky Bill to children – I think it meets all the laws of the genre. And adults do not hurt to watch such a movie. A good, sweet, devoid of any negativity movie will definitely not spoil your mood. This is a great thing nowadays.
