I've seen many K3 movies, some were good, some were BAD. And this is as bad as it gets. Why? Because this movie is riddled with so many plot holes that a Edammer cheese would be blushing! Let me give you an example: Halfway the movie Karen finds a camel. A camel. Where did that camel came from? How did it got there in the first place? Another example. The director of the hotel leaves... for what? Right near the end of the movie he reappears again. Where did he go in the meantime? Why did he came back? Nothing is EXPLAINED! Characters pop up in the movie without warning. No background is been told, nothing! And why do the animals' mouths don't move? Come on, Studio 100. You can create beautiful stuff but you could not give the animals a moving mouth?! (Easily done, just look at BABE!) I know, I know... It's a kids' movie, but really. Avoid this movie! It's horrendous! K3, stay with singing. Stop with acting because enough is enough!

This is one of these children's' series that you want to see over and over and over again. It's mainly for the younger children, but adults can watch it too. The puppetry is nothing short of top-notch, and to be honest: I still have no clue how they manage to pull off the 'full-body'-moves of Small. You don't see a puppeteer and yet -- he has a life of his own. Same counts for Big. You only can wonder how they do that.

Again, this is a children's' show, but don't be fooled! Even parents can learn a thing or two. Even the occasional songs are catchy. Too bad I've yet to find a DVD containing episodes of this brilliant show... But I will keep on looking until I find it.

Each episode is a pearl so I hope they will continue making it!

Bring on Big and Small!

I watched this movie today, and I must say: what a total let-down. First they go to the arctic (why?), then they go on a sort-of scavenger hunt that is never fully explained in the movie (why on earth do they need a Thor's Hammer for?) and... well... there is just way too much CGI in the movie. Really...! OK, I know it's just a kid's movie. The first one was better but this one... I dunno...

And the most important thing of all: the title is hinting at a TREASURE. In the whole movie there is NO TREASURE to be found, only some artifacts, but NO treasure. Could they not call it Wicky and the Great Scavengerhunt? Also, the hammer is kiiiiiiiiiiinda rip-off of the other (greater movie!) Thor, don't you think? So... I give this title a 3.

OMG... this movie is just super excellent and so beautiful, I can't hardly describe the feeling. For what comes to animal movies, this must be the cherry on the cake. But let's start at the beginning. I was browsing thru my movie collection and I heard about this movie, Dolphin Tale. I thought that it was just like Free Willy... boy, was I wrong. No soggy stories here, only uplifting stuff. OK, there are bad parts in the movie, like in the beginning when poor Winter is stranded. You can actually feel her pain burning off the screen. You KNOW she's in danger and that she NEEDS help. Later on, they amputate the tail off the dolphin (you don't get to see how it's done luckily) but then instead of downhill, it's going uphill with this movie. I will spoil no more.

Dolphinlovers, animal-lovers: this is your kind of movie right here, and even I enjoyed every second of it. Dang, Hollywood: make more movies like this!! please!! On the other hand, Hollywood knowing, there will be a part 2 -- let's all hope that this is not going to happen!!!!
