I just watched the American Netflix version, start to finish, and I only have one question … WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO BLOOM?

In reply to Marielle. Thanks for enlightening us here on the original! I agree that premise makes a lot more sense. *sighs*

In reply to Marielle.

That… is not surprising to me. When the mayor is talking about that, it made absolutely no sense to me in the story. Even if the movie had just started, that made no sense to me. Since everything was set up to be about the lack of belief in the spirits.

The original way makes total sense to me. Ugh.

In reply to Elvick. btw, knowing they also edited the movie down bothers me. I don't care if it fixes some other issues of the original like pacing. Even if that's true, just let us watch the film as it was meant to be. Flaws and all. Certainly at least with the same music.

I made it 19:35 in (paused right now) and I hate it. I looove the concept, the animation for a smaller studio is pretty decent and artistically is ok (fantastic for environmental art/2D animations) but the character design is a little weak.

The dub is absolutely atrocious, apart from Meryl Streep (because it’s her) the entire cast is horrible at voice work. Or at least the entire cast up to this point. It’s fandub quality, it sounds embarassingly horrible. Especially that little girl, Rain I believe her name is. She sounds like a grown woman not a child. Who cast this monstrosity?

And the American music is absolutely horrendous. It made me winch when the first random pop song came on. “This… does not fit at all” I can only imagine the Chinese score was perfect for the moments that I saw.

What a disappointment. I think I’d like this if I were able to watch it in Chinese. After about 7 minutes of the horrible lip sync, I checked for other languages and nothing. 🙁

The animation isn’t half bad but honestly I was pretty bored. The dubbing is atrocious

We chose to watch it as a family one night. I work in film and we usually do not adhere to critic’s reviews, but we couldn’t even get through the first ten minutes. The dubbing and voice acting was poorly chosen. It was very difficult to watch Bella Thorne’s voice come out of a small child. It just didn’t match at all. It was weird, I felt none of the voices fit the characters they were chosen to play. Visually, the movie is very enjoyable, but too many scenes that served no purpose except to waste time and poor character building. Such a shame. I very rarely do not enjoy a foreign made movie or leave a bad review. This had a lot of potential, but it didn’t quite reach it.

Wow, I really hope Cricket in Times Square is good. It’s a lovely book. But TWC hasn’t had a good movie in years. I can’t think of one besides Hoodwinked.
