Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The movie represents a magic world of Puebla, Mexico about 1700. It is full of colors and some of the most important buildings of the city appear. The film is Plenty of Mexican symbols and folklore. It makes the film quite interesting and different.The legend can be little bit scary for small kids because touches some of the black legends of Mexico. However is not so bad.The actors who lend their voices make a very interesting performances, almost all of them are very well recognized.Special mention for the music, which is delicious.I am afraid that not Mexicans won't completely understand it and therefore won't enjoy fully the film, nevertheless, it should be seen, because it will give the opportunity to learn a little bit more about Mexico in a nice way.

I'm a big fan of Mexican movies, but this was a total crap.Bad and dumb jokes, so few laughs. I think this is the main factor and it failed at it. Not even recommended for kids.Bad animation (3 fps approx), if you're going to place a 2D cartoon in to the cinema market at LEAST make sure it has 20 fps or more, so it won't look sooo old.I give 3 stars to this movie for the drawings of puebla which were very accurate and the voices of characters which were good, but besides of that, the movie is a waste of time, do any other thing but don't watch this.

I like the movie a lot. It really outlines some of the traditions in Puebla. It mixes mystical with laugh. Very good for kids, not violent, a little scary. But when you are seeing the movie, is like you are getting transported in time. When it gets translated to English, I recommend to see it. I love the Veracruz character, it makes the movie a little humor spicy. On the other hand, mixes the Spaniard system of beliefs with the native Mexican way of exorcism, and combined they achieve a common objective in the fight against evil. There are some peculiarities in the film which will remote you also to your childhood and your family relations. Enjoy.

Even if it is not a state-of-the-art animation, being traditional 2D drawings, later computer-colored, the movie is funny, most of the humor being rather idiosyncratic, and portraits the city of Puebla very accurately, from the San Francisco Church to the Palafoxiana Library. The movie also shows many Mexican and Novohispan traditions, such as the "merengueros", the "balero" game, the "calaveras" (sugar candy) and the "Día de Muertos" (All Saints), everything set just 3 years before the start of the Mexican Independence War.The production was done completely in Puebla, Mexico, and it was premiered during the Festival International de Cine de Morelia (FICM).
