My Sweet Monster

"My Sweet Monster is a Russian production that, in addition to narrating an entertaining story for children, offers an interesting reflection on the preservation of nature against technology. It's a simple story: Princess Barbara rebels against her father, but when the kingdom falls into the hands of the evil Joyce, she must flee and accept the help of a legendary monster to save it. Although its narrative seems to take the classic feudal path, the animation leans towards giving villains (an army of robotic rats) a modern touch amidst green fields and forests that are dominated by the friendly monster of the title. In the end, the aesthetics of the film has a very special and novel punk feel, which will be very attractive for children and animation lovers."
