Kleks Academy (2023). 2h 6m

“Despite my great desire to whitewash this film with the argument that it is a childrenu0026#39;s production, unfortunately it is difficult for me to say anything positive about it. I wonder who the target audience of this film is, because it is scary at times, and the u0026quot;wolvesu0026quot; use a fictitious language with subtitles as a translation, which may be a problem for children up to 8 years old. The filmu0026#39;s production is very poor: the dialogues are artificial and quite awkward to listen to for older viewers – people donu0026#39;t talk like that, the magical land looks very cheesy and doesnu0026#39;t seem extraordinary. Moreover, the photos from the movie were better in moments when the action takes place in the u0026quot;normal worldu0026quot; (my personal opinion). Mr. Kleks himself, as well as most of the characters, are created to be funny, but it doesnu0026#39;t work here either. However, the biggest complaint I have against u0026quot;Mr. Kleseku0026#39;s Academyu0026quot; is the length of the film and, at the same time, its incredible chaotic nature and lack of consistency in the continuation of threads or events. Personally, I got lost in space-time a few times and couldnu0026#39;t understand many situations, let alone a viewer aged 6-10. There were many small children in the cinema hall, and I also had an ambitious task to explain to my 6-year-old sister what, where and how. The songs were definitely a big plus as they enlivened the children during the show and most of the room sang along. Additionally, the messages woven into this chaotic projection were very valuable, but I am not sure whether they were catchable for a young viewer. I am not able to rate this film and I am still not sure who it is intended for. However, after leaving the room, my younger sister said that she liked the film, so it seems that the film is popular among children 😉”
