Reviews

funnily_notbusted The story of two spirit brothers was a different take on many different Chinese cultural animations out there. However, the story wasn't well delivered. In the English dub we have a young girl named Rain, voiced by Bella Thorne who sounds suspiciously older than the girl's mother, voiced by Nicole Kidman. The spirit world doesn't have a logical sense to it. Some minor characters, like Blossom, seem to have little to no significant influence on the story at all. This story has little to no depth and has all the heart of a child's picture book. The most interesting part to me was the Chinese traditions that are so different from my own and I could have gotten that much information from a Google search.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Prior to sitting down to watch "The Guardian Brothers" (aka "Xiao men shen") I had not heard anything about it. Actually, I didn't even know it existed. I read the synopsis and decided to watch it. Plus, it was set in an Asian setting, which also appeals to me.This animated movie had a very nice story to tell, and it is very enjoyable even if you are not overly familiar with Chinese mythology. You quickly and easily immerse yourself into the storyline and the world in which the story takes place.The art style used in this animated movie was quite good, as it was definitely unique and lovely at the same time.It was just a shame that it was an English dubbed version that I saw, although they had some pretty good voice actors on the cast list for the English dub."The Guardian Brothers" is definitely worth taking the time to sit down and watch, whether it is by yourself or with your family and kids.

Miracles Happen If you are longing for a very good story, garnished with love and poetry, you must not miss this incredible movie. The animation is impeccable, even in the smallest details. One more time, like in many classic Chinese movies, the theme concerns heaven and earth but this time, it's presented from a very modern perspective which will make you laugh and reflect at the same time!

wainerrf An animated gem which is a pleasure to watch. Expect great visuals, a cool story and family-friendly fun with lots of soul. Looking forward to the next installment by the creators. I highly recommend this movie!
