In August 2017, a new cartoon from the Franco-Belgian team of directors B. Stassen and J. Degruson "Son of Bigfoot" was released on cinema screens throughout Russia. Reviews on “Become a legend! Bigfoot Jr.”assure that the cartoon came out kind and full of adventures, although, of course, it could not reach the level of Pixar and Disney. This was predictable, because in the creators' piggy bank there are only very mediocre "Cat Thunder and Enchanted Thunder" and "Fly to the Moon".

Storyline

Adam is the most ordinary teenager. But new and rather strange problems are added to the problems familiar to his age. The boy's hair begins to grow too fast, and the language of the animals becomes understandable. This leads the boy to think that he is not so simple, and perhaps his father is alive and worth finding in order to get answers to questions about his mysterious origin.

The seemingly typical story of a boy looking for his dad is spice-up by the fact that the search leads to Bigfoot, who is being hunted with might and main.

Of course, there is no riddle in this, from the name it is already clear who is whose son. HerselfThe story develops quite rapidly with a share of humor. However, in order not to spoil the viewing experience, reviews of the cartoon “Become a Legend! Bigfoot Jr. is best avoided.

Voice acting

For the Russian audience, the roles were voiced by well-known Russian stars, for example: the voice of Bigfoot's dad belongs to Arthur Smolyaninov, an actor who played in 9th Company, Yolki and Zhara. His wife, Daria Melnikova, was responsible for the role of Adam's mother. Her heroine had a hard time, she protected her son from the truth for many years, but this did not make her boring at all, she tries her best to save her child, and Melnikova managed to convey all her emotions with the right intonation.

The main character was voiced by Semyon Treskunov, in his filmography there are such films as: "Moms", "Ghost". Sergey Chikhachev, known to those who watched "Alien", "Fast and the Furious 8" and "Logan's Luck" in Russian dubbing, answered for the voice of the bear.

Perhaps for the positive feedback on the cartoon Become a legend! Bigfoot Jr.”is largely due to the Russian voice acting team. Still, it is very important that the characters speak naturally and vividly, and not irritate their ears with squeaks and inappropriate cries.

Main characters

A whole team of forest defenders helps Adam in his search. Among them are a talking raccoon with a difficult character, a criminal rabbit, a huge bear and a cute squirrel girl.

At some point, it simultaneously resembles the Avengers team orSarik Andreasyan's new film "Defenders". By the way, there was also a very memorable, especially bad graphics, bear.

Reviews

The best, honest and complete review of the film "Become a legend! Bigfoot Jr.”turned out by Yulia Lyalina, the full version of which can be easily found on the Internet. She calls the picture a hodgepodge of a variety of cartoons, which came out a little more original and appetizing than the "Hare School", also released on the screen in 2017. Despite the sometimes naive scenario, there is enough action, and the graphics do not tire the eyes. The film still falls short of Hollywood projects.

Most of the viewers who watched the cartoon would largely agree with her. This is supported by the ratings on the Kinopoisk websites (6, 4 out of 10 in total) and Rotten tomatoes (3, 1 out of 5). This is also evidenced by the few fees and reviews on “Become a legend! Bigfoot Jr. With a budget of $30 million, Russia managed to raise only $2.2 million.

Stamps

Numerous stamps - this is what you really can not like and become a reason to write not the most positive review on “Become a legend! Bigfoot Jr.”

The main character Adam at the beginning of the cartoon is an ordinary teenager without friends, unable to meet and build relationships with other people. It is difficult for him to accept himself and trust others, even his own mother, not to mention a cute classmate. He throws accusations left and right, acts in haste without thinking properly. The hero is actively trying to manipulate to get his way. And yet it is he who turns out to be a special owner of supernatural abilities, which, by the way, are not even overshadowed by any side effects. Somewhere this has already been filmed and more than once. The villains desperately escalate drama and tension, but they do it rather comically.

Humor

If the stamps interfered with the perception of the cartoon, then the creators did not overdo it with jokes. Although in some places the humor is rather secondary and somewhat simplified, it is great for children. Even the company of villains has a ridiculous goal - to grow thick and silky hair on their bald heads. In this part, all reviews on “Become a legend! Bigfoot Jr. unanimous: it came out funny.

The characters of the rabbit and the bear especially fell in love with the audience. With the latter, by the way, there is also a cognitive moment, in some way a warning - cute bears can run at speeds up to 60 km / h. Turning your back on them and trying to run away is not the best idea.

There are chases and fights in the film, but there is not a drop of blood. Despite the 6+ rating, this film can be shown to younger children. They will definitely like it, but the spoiled "Disney" and "Pixar" adults are unlikely. Although, when it comes to cinema, people's impressions can be radically different, because art is a subtle matter, and much in it depends only on personal tastes and preferences.

If you didn't have time to watch "Become a legend! Bigfoot Jr. "in 3D and no reviewsfrightened, then be sure to stock up on a blanket, hot tea, delicious cookies and arrange a viewing at home on a cozy sofa with the whole family. On a cool cloudy autumn, you should definitely arrange evenings with kind, funny films.
