Wonderful movie...

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2008)

This movie is one of the best movies made. Even though it's completely in Spanish, it touches your heart as you cheer for Princess Moana as she makes her journey back to her homeland. It also keeps you guessing and if the Faun is good or bad. The director did an amazing job with all of the details, including lighting and angles of the camera. He also did a great job with including the continual inclusion of the number three. Three fairies, three keyholes, three chairs in the underworld (with the king, queen and Moana's chair).
I also must say that the creatures used were incredible. I'm quite partial to the creepy guy that Ophelia finds during her second task, the one that puts his eyes into his hands. I love him, the way he was designed was so cool. Not to mention the Faun...he was awesome, and his monologue about his name is one of my favorite monolouges ever. Not to mention the way that the fairies were desgined, that they were really bugs and could transform into the human/fairy shape. That was ingenious! The music to this movie was mindblowing, I love the lullaby that they play. And the script, flowed perfectly and you really got involved in these character's lives, could feel their emotions as if you were standing there in the middle of the action.
The ending was brilliant, especially because they showed you that she died in the beginning. And even though your happy for her, you cannot stop yourself from crying, because Mercedes doesn't know that she went on to become her old self once again.
All in all, I believe that every person should see this movie once they're old enough to understand it. It's powerful and touching and it'll leave you talking about it for years to come.
