small steps, everyone/everything has to start somewhere after all. hindi mo bet, eh di okay, pero never invalidate the filipino animators’ efforts by calling their work a waste of time. let us be more constructive and encouraging naman sa pagpuna.
The dialogues alone should get them an R18 or even an X rating. Using the animation platform is and the star-studded cast, are attempts to fool the audience that this offering is an acceptable alternative in the mainstream category of filmmaking.
But look at it closely, a female cat, sleeping around being called “hayop”, and other names, being physically assaulted by her cat husband are all depicted on screen in that snippet of a teaser. The animated characterization are meant to soften the themes of sex & violence. Because who would question an animal’s nature? Diba? Cats and other animals do it anywhere with any other members of their species, right? So, scientifically, there shouldn’t be any malice in the natural way animals have sex, or even fight violently when they disagree with each other. But this film takes it further by giving the animals it’s own character arches, and dialogue that are all very human. I would bet my money that the dialogues also include “funny lines” that are “meant to be harmless” because it would speak to the nature of animals per se.
The Filipino viewing public should watch out for these types of films being marketed to a general audience. It is no different from a scented and/or fruit flavored illegally-traded drug meant to destroy and eventually toast your brain.
Let’s not cheapen the theme of having animals in film. Let’s not cheapen the Filipino brand of animation. Let’s not continue to cheapen The Pinoy brand of comedy. Not like this as it looks kind of funny and appealing to children, whose sensibilities we have to guard, so they are not corrupted by these types of underhanded marketing ploys. We all know that the end game is to profit from it, right? But it has to be marketed to the appropriate audience an adult audience. I hope we have MTRCB members reading this blog and have the appropriate people rate this film accordingly.
Medyo na ilang nga ako sa dialog, yun pala pareho feeling ko kay 1:32, hindi ko lang makoment dito ng maayos. Na throw off ako ng cartoons. Tama ka 1:32!
1:36 I admire your articulateness to express and I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU...Ginamit pa.mga boses ng sikat para makapang.deceive ng audience. Di ba film outfit ito ni Piolo.and Direk Bernal?
1:36 SAAN KUWEBA po kayo nakatira? nakapanood na ba kayo ng Anime? some Animes or cartoons are meant for adult audience or political satire. It depends on the artists. Lawakan niyo po ang inyong pag iisip dahil maski sa Japan nirerespeto ang ganitong form of animation.
@8:47, kweba? Wala naman masama sa comment eh, mukhang mapanuri nga si 1:36. Marami ng sophisticated movie goers ngayon. Basta dapat maging tama ang promotion niyan at hindi nila gawin na makakahikayat sa mga kabataan.
Tama naman yung comment sa 1:36. Dito kasi sa atin kahit constructive criticism inaalmahan. Dapat talaga bantayan ang marketing at promo ng movie na yan dahil baka gawing PG pero very adult naman ang tema. 🙋🏻♀️ TOTALLY AGREE RIN AKO SA 1:36 COMMENT. ✌️
Correction lang ha—Pusa yung babae pero Aso yung lalaki. Anyways, bad taste nga na yung babae galing sa mapusok na rendezvous sa lalaking hindi niya bf, tapos sinapak at tinawag na pokpok pag uwi sa bf niya. Tapos sa huli sinabi pa na walang kapaguran yung pusa sabay halinghing. My gas! Not for kids nga ito pero kahit of age ako hindi rin ako nagandahan sa story, kahit pa sabihin niyo na teaser lang yan. Valid points lahat sinabi ni 1:36. Mahalay yung storya tinago lang sa mga aso at pusa.
mga teh walang sinabi na pambata ito, for adults po ito nagkataon lang na cartoons. Wag nyo isama mga anak ninyo pag nanood kayo nito. Tratuhin itong parang experimental film.
mag hanash kayo kung kakaiba ang ratings ng MTRCB kung naging GP pala ito , wag OA mag react.Kasi nagkaroon din ng trabaho ang mga magagaling na animators ng Pilipinas.
Pang adult nga yan. Agree tayo lahat diyan. Problema na nung producers kung bigyan sila ng rating na makakapagpakonti sa kikitain nila. Kasi hindi pwede sa mga bata yan. May niche audience yung mga ganyan na animation pero bayolente at may s*x, kahit pa cute yung mga pusa at aso.
Illustrator gamit sa characters at after effects... pinoy cliche story ang theme. Mala heneral luna ang joke. Ayos to.. sana kumita para masundan at mabigyan ng break ang filipino animators.

Papanoorin ko to!!? Feeling ko may aral naman na makukuha eh..hindi porket animation sa bata lang dapat. This is an animation for adults na mga open minded.
Sana ginandahan man lang yung screenplay. Animated na nga pero parang kabit-serye pa rin ang plot. Kung gusto nila umangat ang status ng animation sa bansa natin gandahan dapat ang screenplay.
true, natural for adults ito, bago umalma dapat abangan muna ninyo ang ratings ng MTRCB kung sinabing for GP ito, tsaka lang kayo magalit. Wag yun OA mag comment.
1040, you’re probably correct that some FP commenters in this article do not know about the show adult swim of the Cartoon Network; however, you are wrong to assume that those of us making constructive criticism do not know about said animated shows/series. You must understand that the point some people are making here relates to the paradigm in the Philippines where animated films are for general patronage. Also, adult swim in the US is shown in a time slot that is deemed appropriate for adult viewing in cable networks, even in syndication. As far as marketing and promotions go, there is no mistake that the shows or series are for adults. However, having said that, it is a fact that some producers of certain adult swim series have had run-ins with authorities due to inappropriate marketing ploys to sell their series as “harmless,” when in fact, some audience have imitated certain actions portrayed on some violently-themed shows.
My comment above simply aims to point out that the producers of this film has used the animation platform to water down the theme of sex and violence; and for certain unsophisticated audiences the medium alone is enough to fool them into thinking that it may be for general patronage, add to that their favorite stars’ voices are behind the characters. As I have said above, the reality is, as filmmaking goes, the end game is to make a profit, thus the wider net they can cast, the more fish they can catch, so to speak. We need to make sure that this movie is not marketed to the youth and is rated accordingly by the films ratings board in-charge. And lastly, if this animated genre is the future of Filipino filmmaking, then why not invest in a better crafted screenplay, have a better plot, have better scripts—we already have a great talent pool of animators, why not ensure that their work is shown in a way that will not be censored, they at least deserve that, right? No need to condescend upon those who are only providing constructive criticism. ~ 136
Another waste of time for pinoy animations. Wala nga akong alam na may kumita na pinoy animations.
ReplyDeleteAko rin di ko feel. Ang cheap tignan.

Deletetruth cartoons are not only made for kids. and yes maybe the reason is to soften the theme.

ReplyDeleteSana animation na pang bata.
ReplyDeletehello, hindi lahat ng cartoons pambata. Obvious ba na targeted nito adult audience. Nakaka aliw siya dahil kakaiba.
DeleteIllustrator gamit sa characters at after effects... pinoy cliche story ang theme. Mala heneral luna ang joke. Ayos to.. sana kumita para masundan at mabigyan ng break ang filipino animators.
ReplyDeletegusto ko mga ganito, kakaiba. Magagaling din mga Filipino animators.

then we should just wait and see. MTRCB should give this the proper for adults only rating.
