Beautiful, moving film.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

why that Panda's voice went between a Chinese man with a bad accent (speaking English) and Mario (or some other Italian accent). Other than that. Most of that characters have very good animations except this one extra guy, but he was removed from the screen very quickly. All the music is original and I couldn't tell who made it. I also didn't get the part where the main girl character gave a werewolf flowers? And when they went to some haunted mansion with the greatest looking ghosts possible. The voice acting was also the best voice acting I heard in awhile. It was way better than Shrek or shark tale. The plot of a totally original story was nothing I could of ever thought of!!!!!!

Not the worst animated movie I've ever seen, but it does come close and is among the worst seen recently. As a huge fan of animation, even if the execution is wanting in several areas, this viewer does try to not be too harsh in her judgement as long as it's clear that effort was made. And that is the problem with The Prodigy, not only does it look cheap but it insults the intelligence and really does feel like little effort was put into it.The Prodigy is very poorly animated, not quite as bad as the Video Brinquedo and Spark Plug Entertainment output as far as computer animation goes. But does that excuse the flat colours, the sloppy editing in the action, the very, very sparse backgrounds (which are one-dimensional and restricted to about three or four objects a background on occasions) and the very ugly and sometimes creepy designs with the movements of a video game dated from twenty years ago? No it doesn't. The problem with the soundtrack is that not only is an overly loud and plodding soundtrack that has very little memorable about it but the style it is composed it completely jars with the setting.In terms of writing, the dialogue and jokes are enough to make one cringe, so dumbed down, awkward and forced that the probability of getting sore eyes from rolling your eyes so much is a certainty. The story really struggles to sustain the running time and pads it with overlong scenes and scenes that are little more than unnecessary filler. It is also far too simplistic and very predictable. The action is poorly animated to start with, and the unexciting choreography, weird sound efforts and the lack of momentum hurt it further. The characters fail to engage, with a blandly written female lead, underwritten and confusedly written villains and a truly obnoxious panda. The voice acting is very stiff, most of the characters speak in monotone while on the other end of the spectrum the panda speaks in a higher-pitched Italian-sounding accent that sounds out of place with the rest of the voice actors.All in all, could have been Kung-Fu-Tastic, but ended up being more like Kung-Fu-Rubbish. 1/10 Bethany Cox

The title, which you see above you, is intended as a warning to exactly what happened when my little sister asked to get this in Poundland. Join the "animators and artists of Shrek" as you journey through ancient China, represented in glorious mid-90s video game graphics. Meet a bunch of characters who you'll grow to know and want to strangle, voiced by people whom I imagine were paid less than £5 for their respective parts, and I doubt it will ever be enough for them to be able to live with what they've done. They will embark on an epic quest to stop some irritating person from doing something or another. You won't care by the time this film ends. Your mind will only be concerned with snapping the disc. The bottom line is: don't buy this, unless you plan to use it as an instrument of torture.

Anybody that gave this movie more than two stars is trolling. I have seen many films derided as the worst in existence, and let me tell you: This is the absolute worst. There are literally no redeeming qualities in this movie whatsoever.Animation: Looks like it was done in Poser. The cut scenes in Final Fantasy VII had better graphics.Plot: Dumb, predictable and boring.Voice acting: Stiff and lifeless.Characters: Differing between bland and annoying as f***. Jar-Jar Binks cannot hold a candle to the panda master.The ONLY possible redemption this movie might offer is some of the set pieces, but that will be squandered completely when you see the complete void of inspiration that are the jade, silver and gold rooms, one of which, I kid you not, is decorated with a giant down-to-the-details ripoff of the Mortal Kombat logo.The ONLY reason anyone should watch this is to increase your tolerance for pain. All of my friends question how I can sit through Battlefield Earth, The Last Airbender, Movie 43 and 2016: Obama's America without ever once wanting to gnaw my own leg off, and the truth is that those movies are all masterpieces compared to The Prodigy.IT IS THAT BAD.
