Krakens and Mermaids: Meet the Gillmans

***1/2 (THREE AND A HALF STARS)

maybe your predictability is the only thing to reproach this film that narrates the transition from late childhood to early adolescence of a girl That girl is actually a kraken and that the krakens are the ones that protect the world from the evil power of the mermaidsand that the most popular girl in his high school is -of course, of course- precisely a mermaid, is the coverage of the true topic.

But it is a coverage full of color, of sparks, of sweetness. An attractive coating, like that of a donut (although the dough is the same as always, that cross between a friar’s ball and pizza).

Fortunately, the design of this animated film that does not last a minute too long -a flower of virtue in times when it seems that too much has to be said in each film and everything lasts half an hour longer than necessary- plus its consistently humorous twists They make the experience very enjoyable.

The satire and parodySure, they appear, but they carry less weight than the characters. Fortunately.
