Solid fun

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2010)

Life isn't always easy if you're a young inventor. Especially not if some of your experiments run into disaster. It isn't any different for the lead character in this animation film - wanting to save the city he lives in from becoming a ghost town he invents a machine that can turn water into food. And while the idea sounds good it has all the potential to turn into a full flexed catastrophe.
Intended for a younger audience this film plays around the invention and the effects it has on the city and its denizens while skipping lightly over a couple heavier subtopics - those go way over the heads of the smallest ones in the audience but fit right in there for their legal guardians.
The animation style used is great - a wild color scheme, lots of exaggerated forms, heavily characterized persons (both in style and actual behavior).
All in all it makes for a hilarious film that will have the entire audience laughing.
