We then have a few Disney-ish musical moments throughout the movie, although they sound lovely in both audio tracks. No, the problem is not the audio language. Actually, both audio languages are quite nice: the Cantonese brings less harsh character voices, since the dialogue sounds more like singing than talking, while the Mandarin is far more serious, with the extra work gone into drama. The film was originally designed specifically around doing both Cantonese and Mandarin so you'd expect some failure there but, oddly enough, that's not where the failures appear. However, although there is nothing utterly wrong, nothing really stands out in this department. Of course, most of them are pretty linear, like the "I trust everyone" Ning (you wouldn't expect that kind of personality on a debt collector xD), the "worship me" Evil Mountain, the "I'm awesome" Ten Miles, the "I'm god" White Cloud or the "too good for you" Shine. A lot of the personality can be deduced from how the characters look like. In fact, the use of both 2D and 3D don't go very well together: the 2D is great, the 3D fails.Ĭharacter designs are unique to the individuals. Down side would be the the CG used, which is on the very low quality side.
Animation excels in character motions, specially in action scenes, which are greatly done, using very creative camera angles and charming colors. That being said, lets also not forget that this is Chinese animation so, obviously, the style is also different.

The animation is quite good for its time (for the characters and its motions, I mean) but it's outdated (this movie is over 10 years old). The character designs are Disney-ish in an unique way.Īnimation-wise, watching it now, don't expect something grand. Although the creative storyline isn't necessarily directed to adults, it demands the comprehension of those at least 10 and up. And don't forget all the Chinese mythology references too (eye candy).īasically, don't watch this for the story if you have a short attention span. It's a story of a human falling in love with an enchanting ghost, followed by bizarre giant monsters, with some generic warriors helping along the way. They're wandering around (seemingly aimlessly) and end up in a ghost town. We follow Ning, a debt collector, and his dog Solid Gold. That said, the story is very singular, although odd and many times incomprehensible. Powers possessed by Taoist masters, you will most likely laugh at it while recalling a certain American movie that has absolutely nothing to do with it.Īlthough it's not mandatory to know Chinese folklore in order to watch (and enjoy) the movie, you will miss out on a great deal if you don't keep up with all the Chinese mythological references (which the movie expects you to know, since it doesn't explain any of them). Like, for example, the idea of ghost busting: if you are not familiar with the myths of supernatural In the end, I liked it! Though I warn you in advance: if you are not familiar with Chinese folklore (specially the tale of Xiao Qian and the tax collector Ning), you will find some of the concepts awkward, at best. Still, the synopsis was interesting enough and so I watched it anyway (I'm a sucker for Chinese folklore), although just expecting eye candy.
