Empire
por Olly Richards
This quest is hardly the thrill it might be. Leopoldo Aguilar’s film doesn’t have a lot of fun with a premise that just begs for fantastical excess. Having a secret world entirely inhabited by weird creatures gives animators free reign to invent. It’s an opportunity that’s mostly squandered. Think of all the background and incidental gags you got in a film like Monsters, Inc., playing with the idea of monsters forming a society like our own, but where everyone has tentacles or is the size of a house. Obviously this doesn’t have the same budget that Pixar has, but there’s no price on imagination. Monster Island doesn’t create a tangible world, just a few locations with odd architecture and characters who act like humans in Hallowe’en costumes. It’s a shame because there’s some effort to make up for the lower budget by making the visuals distinct. There’s an angular, paper-cutout look to some of the art, which gives it personality, though other designs are much more smooth and generic cheapo computer animation.

Somewhere in the world, there’s a parent who’s had to sit through Hotel Transylvania just one too many times. Fortunately, help is at hand, because thanks to Mexican production company Ánima Studios, that parent can now sit through cheap Hotel Transylvania knock-off Monster Island one too many times.

The Times
por Ed Potton
Stealing liberally from Pixar, Terry Pratchett and, most obviously, the Eighties fantasy comedy Teen Wolf, this surreal but shonky Mexican animation makes the clichéd link between monstrous transformation and adolescence and does absolutely nothing new with it.

There are few things more unpleasant to look at than bad animation. And Monster Island’s Technicolor yawn of regurgitated influences is monstrous in all the wrong ways. The eyeball-melting colour palette is just the tip of the tentacle – this is a cobbled-together, plotless mess from director Leopoldo Aguilar, completely lacking in the internal logic that is essential for the successful creation of a fantasy world. A 13-year-old boy discovers that his asthma inhaler actually delivers medicine that stops him returning to his natural state – as a gigantic orange ogre. He returns to Monster Island to seek the truth about his history and discovers, perhaps unsurprisingly, plenty of skeletons in his family closet.
