The Prodigy (2009)

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!!!!!!

My mom bought this movie in Canada because it was cheap and we needed some movies to entertain us on the long ride home to Minnesota. I was about 11 when I watched this but even then did I figure that this movie sucked ass. It was so poorly animated and the movements were so choppy and just embarrassing to watch. The plot was SO predictable and the panda was very disturbing to watch/listen to, it seemed slightly perverted.. My sister (who was 6 at the time) loved the movie, but what did she know-- she can't tell the difference between a cherry and apple, but one thing she experienced were nightmares because of the panda. I'm telling you, the panda is satanic or something. Anyways, the effects were really corny and low quality and just everything about this movie was just sad to watch. The scenes weren't at all detailed, just some pots and statues. I cringed throughout the movie except I enjoyed the ending song during the credits, it was catchy but that's about it.

I am a character animator and cg artist. Seeing this movie was difficult to bear. The movements were done for the sake of moving, without any sense of acting, or intent. As well as it feeling floaty and lifeless. The models were unappealing. The rigs were very restricted and pinched with any extreme pose. The lighting felt OK, but still not so great. Texturing was in the same category.A different style could have been trialled to hide some of the flaws, but considering the budget, there is little wonder as to why this movie felt so dead.As for story, it had potential, but requires a whole heap of refining. I commend the attempt, but at best, I would suggest it remain an idea. I give it a one.

This was by far one of the worst movies my son and daughter have ever picked out. The animation on the DVD cover and stating it was from the artists and animators of Shrek and Sharktale on the cover seemed like a straight out lie. I have seen video games with better graphics and story lines. I am a huge fan of indie movies but this was beyond horrible, the panda was creepy, the music was even worse and the plot and dialog in the movie was deplorable. I would definitely not recommend anyone this movie, even at renting it for a week for a $1.00, I feel like it was a total waste of money
