Welcome to the Space Show (2010)

I have just finished watching this anime movie and it's pretty good though it is not the best anime I have seen.The plot however was midcore to be honest because it was all for a bunny rabbit. I am not going to spoil any more of the movie since the movie was that long that I could barely remember how it began.However the fight scene was good and the graphic and the animation definitely was made with love and care .Considering this is a children's movie just be weary that the word "pervert" would be used. But as good to the movie there are some good lessons and morals to be learned from this movie. What really was stupid was that in the English dub they used the word Dollars as money instead of Yens. I am pretty kids aren't stupid to the point that they wouldn't know what are Yens, Pounds, Dollars, Euros and Rupees and which countries they would work in. When I watched the trailer I wasn't too sure but when i actually watched the movie i enjoyed it plus some of the characters are actually stronger then they look. For example Natsuki Koyama look pretty week and scrawny but in a fight between her and a TZ-33 looking droid she could hold her own and actually push against his force. Overall: good movie though there are some stupid scenes.

Version I saw: (subtitled) UK DVD release (projected) Actors: 6/10 Plot/script: 6/10 Photography/visual style: 7/10 Music/score: 6/10 Overall: 7/10 Welcome to the Space Show is a Japanese anime movie. Although (despite what some ignorant people will tell you) there are many such works which are targeted at an adult audience, with deep characterization, complex themes and the like, WttSS is most definitely a kids' film. It evokes Japanese classics like My Neighbour Totoro and Galaxy Express 999, as well as American fare such as ET, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Wars and The Goonies. You may note that these are all from the 70s and 80s, and indeed, it does seem to represent a bygone era of innocence, when cinematic kids were not wise-cracking and genre savvy. All this was presented with a bold, colourful visual style that comes from the most modern computer graphics. I found this really rather charming.Unfortunately, the film has problems with pacing. It moves very slowly for large chunks, which might be okay, but there are also confusing rushes of plot and exposition, as well as frenetic action scenes that seem a bit out of place. The whole finale is a big action scene that goes on FAR too long, reminding me painfully of Katsuhiro Otomo's disappointing steampunk anime film Steamboy.I have my doubts that kids would have much patience for this, and may end up bored and restless despite the colour, life and good characters with whom they can identify. For my part, I found it good, but it could have been so much better.

Overload of imagination. It is very sad that it has been 4 years since it was launched. The amount of details put on every single scene with the endless imagination and possibilities have taken me back to the young children days. Adults will be surprised by how much effort have been put into making this. Surely one of the most underrated in IMDb that i have seen so far.Sound tracks, animation, voice actors are 10/10. Story and plot 8/10.I would love a sequel of this and recommend it to those who love imaginative animation, the best imagination and creativity so far. Unique, fabulous and original.

Group of school kids camping out for a week find a wounded dog and rescue it. It turns out that the dog is actually an alien studying earth plants. As a reward he takes the kids to the far side of the moon and beyond. Its complicated plot involving the title space TV show, poachers looking for Wasabi, a lost world and several other tid bits.Amazing feast for the eye has a plot that moves very slowly making it a long haul. It doesn't help that the film has sense of back story that often makes you wish it was even longer. I liked the ideas but found it a tough go. Watching the film at The New York International Cildrens Film Festival this afternoon I was struck by how restless the kids were.I've been going to the festival since it started and this was the most restless audience I've run across. Yes I and they liked it but it seemed like it took forever to get to the rousing climax.Worth a look but I's wait for DVD.
