Horribly written. Horribly animated and horribly voiced. Did anyone rating this over a 5 actually watch the same movie I did? I don't want to swear but it is hard in this review. I hope the director writer didn't spend all of his life saving's on this. Yikes

In the suburbs, there is a pixies village hidden in a ditch. Sam and his friends live in the village. His brother William is crushed by a trash bag from the human world. The Pixie King declares a curse on the human named Joe Beck. Sam and his friends cause havoc in his life even at his garage shop. He crashes into Michelle Meyers and falls head over heels. He discovers the pixies and captures Sam.This is an animated Canadian movie. The animation is rudimentary akin to the late 90s production level. It's better than film student level but less than theatrical release level. The designs are a little ugly especially the pixies and Michelle. The story is functional although it needs to be more straight. There is an environmental bent but it needs fully embrace it. Better animation would help a lot in smoothing out the rougher spots.

I don't have a problem with low-budget movies, per-se. I have watched a lot of low budget stuff in my lifetime that has been passably entertaining. But this movie is so poorly done that I'm surprised they actually got real celebrities (Paxton and Plummer) to sign on. We only rented this because the movie we really wanted was unavailable. Plot: This is about a vindictive pixie who enlists his followers to completely destroy the life of a human for the completely egregious and unforgivable crime of...throwing a bag of trash in the river. I get the environmental subtext, but it's pretty flimsy when the pixies bully someone relentlessly. At the end, there's some reconciliation where the pixies realize they've been awful and the human is kind of like "sorry about that thing I did." But the bulk of the film is cheap physical humor. "He gets hit between the legs. hahaha." ugh. Execution: The low- quality animation is rivaled only by the poor sound quality and stale voice-acting. The sound doesn't sync up right most of the time. The actors sound the way I do when I'm tired and my kid asks me to read one more book and I say okay, but I'm just trying to get through it. I know some people said they loved this, so you know. It's subjective I guess. But if you read all of the reviews and still decide to watch this, remember that some of us tried.

Pixies are mythical creatures of folklore, and are believed to inhabit ancient underground ancestor sites such as stone circles, barrows, dolmens, ringfort or menhirs. In traditional regional lore, pixies are generally benign, mischievous, short of stature and attractively childlike; they are fond of dancing and gather outdoors in huge numbers to dance or sometimes wrestle, through the night! Now, about this animated movie written and directed by Sean Patrick O'Reilly - nothing in it is like that. Humorless, bullying pixies and bland characters! I understand that there is a need to have more independent animation , but this movie was a pure waste of time! Bad dialogue, terrible computer animation, awful sound effects, and a story which had a bad, almost sour ecological taste. I do not think that a story line about vengeance could be in any way kid friendly, even though they tried to fix everything at the end. I would rethink an intention to show this animation to any of the kids in my family! I was most of the time annoyed by the pixies and I could not understand why would someone even categorize this movie as a children's movie.
