I came across this animated film on Netflix, and I thought it was a great film, despite some lame lines and Bella Thorne's voice acting being out-of-place (sorry). But the animation is really awesome, which is why I gave it a 10 out of 10 rating.
The story is about two spirit brothers, Yulei and Shentu. They are also "Door Gods" that are facing unemployment along with other spirits because humans no longer believe in spirits in this modern age. After hearing from the now-fired Earth God (Beckett in the dub), Yulei hatches a misguided plan to unleash a demon called the Nian. Despite Shentu's objections, Yulei went to the human world to break the three seals to release the Nian. Along the way, he came across a girl named Yu'er (or Raindrop) after saving her from some dogs. Then he handed her a medallion and left to continue on. Yu'er, meanwhile, was having troubles of her own. She and her mom Xiaoying (Luli) are facing the closure of their soup shop and competition with nasty restaurant owner Boss Hu (Mr. Rogman). So that's all I am telling you folks. You will have to see the movie for yourself if you have Netflix.
Anyway, I love every bit of this film with its superb animation, despite the flaws I mentioned. Also, I really wish it was on DVD.
