Almost every character has something to do with it, be it the loss of family or trying to figure out who or what their family is. The meaning of family and the sacrifices and choices one has to make to maintain a family you love/want play a very important role in this movie. A chance arises for Joris to meet his idol and even join his team, but the unexpected return of a terrifying presence called The Butcher shatters Joris’ dream and forces him to face the reality of who he truly is. The story revolves around a ten year old boy named Joris who wishes to follow in his parents’ footsteps and become someone of importance. Unknowing of his true heritage, Joris finds a role model and example in the Boufbowl superstar Khan Karkass rather than his elderly feline surrogate father, Kerubim Crepin. The movie was released on various French Video On Demand sites (such as iTunes) on the 3rd of June 2016, exactly four months after the initial theatrical debut in France. I am still drying my eyes and blowing my nose as I write this but here is a small review of the movie. Bravo, really congratulations to all.Wish here, y’all. I know nothing about cinema, but I imagine the colossal work to be able to compete without blushing with the largest US productions, even though it is a first try, built with the means and resources of an SME. Congratulations to the Ankama teams which delivered such a great work. Dense, panting, unrestrained, vibrant, and always "in tune", this is what comes to mind. I finally do not remember a film having made me laugh as often while pulling me tears from the eyes. and I still think of the movie smiling 24 hours later. one element popped-up in my dreams at night. After 24 hours, I realized that my wife and I laughed several times in the train back home while remembering the movie. But I still continue, just for the pleasure. Judge also because all that is embodied in a universe, characters and action which follow the codes of Japanese animation, which also built me. Judge by emotional affiliation with Ankama, making that many references, ways of seeing the world, provocations and mockeries of the movie, are familiar to me for having accompanied years of my life - I understand them, I enjoy them, they make me smile, laugh, vibrate or cry. Impartiality is not easy when you are judge and jury. I don't understand french, but I'll never trade it for another language, let the subtitles guide me through your lines, I love your choice of voices and how much effort they put. Voice-acting, needless to say, top-notch. Once again, a villain well-developed with unpredictable plot twists, emotional attachment and quite a perfect ending. You managed to keep it both lighthearted but also deep. As for storytelling, well, congratulations, Ankama, I put you in the same level as Avatar, Dreamworks and Disney. I can't pick my favorite, but they were all amazing. The scenarios were wonderful, and the fights, oh dear me, the fights. From the flash animation they use in Wakfu to what seems to be traditional animation. So when I started this movie, first thing I noticed was the gorgeous animation. And of course, I became immediately hooked. Already acquainted with Ankama's two biggest products, the Wakfu game and cartoon, I was surprised I let this movie pass, or maybe not, it's barely a month since I started the game/anime. Rarely a movie makes me scream "DAMN! WHAT A MOVIE!" And this one, needless to say, made me scream it more than once.
