Spark: A Space Tail Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
blazedounal I personally thought the story was very well done. I was impressed with character of each of the characters. For me the animation was fine. Had the story been a good one then I wouldn't care about how realistic the characters are portrayed - it's a kid's animation so I don't expect it to look lifelike. The characters in the movie is good. Not the best animated feature I ever seen but it is OK.Thirteen years ago, the evil General Zhong overthrew his noble brother to seize the throne of the planet Bana, using a spacetime anomaly known as a "slick". Slicks were defecated out by a wild creature known as a space kraken. The slick tore whole shards off the planet, and swallowed up many subjects. Among the few survivors were a baby monkey named Spark, a warrior fox named Vix, and a pig mechanic named Chunk.In the present, Spark, Vix and Chunk secretly live on a shard used as a garbage dump, with Vix and Chunk leading insurgency missions against Zhong. One day, Spark intercepts an e-mail sent to Vix about a new mission, and decides to take the mission himself. The e-mail surprisingly leads to the Queen of Bana. The Queen hands Spark a kraken-finder, which Zhong wants to use to find and recapture the space kraken. Spark decides to use it to find the kraken himself, and he tames the creature and brings it back to Bana. However, when he went home, he finds out his home raided by Zhong's forces, who then capture both him and the kraken. Zhong forces the kraken to make a new slick into which he hurls Spark, Vix, Chunk and the entire garbage shard.The trio discover that the slick actual is a wormhole that leads to a desert planet. Spark finds survivors of the first slick, living in the King's old flagship battle cruiser. The Captain of the flagship reveals that Spark is in fact the son of the King and Queen, who entrusted Vix and Chunk to hide him away. The King had died in an accident some years ago. when Spark visits a memorial to his father, Spark finds a special weapon made for the royal family. Spark rallies the survivors to mount an attack on Zhong. The flagship and survivors return to Bana through their own slick, and ultimately defeat Zhong's forces after a prolonged battle. Spark personally rescues his mother, the Queen, from Zhong's own flagship which gets critically damaged during the battle. Spark decides to rescue Uncle Zhong as well, but the Queen then punches Zhong into the slick. The film ends with Spark becoming the new Prince of Bana.
Gordon-11 This animated film tells the story of a young monkey who lives in a secret fragment of a destroyed planet. He is trained by the two people who raised him, to combat the evil master of the universe. One day, he discovers the chance of prove himself and destroy the evil master of the universe."Spark: A Space Tail" is an adventure for young children, so I am not expecting much. What I'm impressed by is that they managed to get many big names to voice the characters. What I have not been so impressed by is the story, but then I'm not the target demographic that the film is aimed at. The animation is OK, but the characters are not as cute as I wished to see.
sunsetstation I personally thought the story was very well done. I was impressed with character of each of the characters. The designs of the characters was good, however the backgrounds in the movie for being CG were definitely on the low budget side, but everything else was really pretty top notch, especially with not having the financing available for other studios. The story was full of very well thought out comedy, not over the top, but quite funny. It was nice also to watch a kids movie that wasn't trying to slip in nasty jokes or situations that should never be in kids movies. There were a few transitions in the story that could have done with a little bit more filler to make the transitions smoother, maybe to due needing to get the movie released, or to make it fit within a certain time frame, or just not having unlimited resources to do more animating. Watch the movie with your kids or just know that it will be safe for your kids to watch on their own. I'm 50 and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, of course I never truly 'grew up' as I still like to watch all kinds of movies, even if they are cartoons.
Edward Grabczewski It's hard to believe that so many people made this film and yet nobody asked the question "Why cares about this story?".I don't like having to work too hard trying to figure out the plot or what motivates the characters into action, but after ten minutes I was still asking myself "what's the point of this movie?".For me the animation was fine. Had the story been a good one then I wouldn't care about how realistic the characters are portrayed - it's a kid's animation so I don't expect it to look lifelike.But I did wonder about the language. I don't think my 4, 7 and 9 year old kids know what "flailing" means, together with a script and story that seemed a little beyond their reach. Having said that, they all sat and watched the film, happily eating their popcorn and apples and said they enjoyed it. So what do parents know?
