The Film was looking like a Horror, instead it was more of a kids Film. And a Whimsical one at that. It was the Furthest distance imaginable when it came to Horror. And I was actually quite surprised myself. I thought it was going to be rather scary, however that was just not to be. The jump Scares, well...they were more funny then anything. So Let's digest the Flaws and the positives of Imagination, or In other Words (IF).
A Big Bear called Blue, who's actually purple is meant to make the audience scared. When he came into the film, I thought that was going to be a turning point, it was then going to be scary. But do you think a cuddly and clumsy Bear is going to turn out scary? Then you'll get a Resounding NO. There's Nouthing scary about the Bear, apart from his size. And the amount of Times he needs to sneeze, I guess it's to keep the audiences attention.
I like the endless possibilities, and that saying that "anything is Possible" still rings out as true. As you can believe in anything if you put your mind to it. The Film demonstrates this in a good way, by showing us old memories of the toys we loved the most. And how we can remember them. The Ballet scene with the Grandma is very delightful, and it's a great part of the film, Grandma re-living her past Childhood is something we'd all like to do, I'm sure.
Although, I wish the explanation was handled and approached better, It just sort of seemed to get brushed aside, and I actually think that it was Important. And the Characters sharing there memories as part of there Childhood would of also been great. As the emphasis on the film is believing and seeing, and Invisioning part of there Childhood would of been nice to see, old Memories being remembered.
The Father and Daughter dynamic however is very interesting. The thought of a child growing up can be hard to imagine, but you can still find ways to have fun with one another. And they themselves share some good memories between each other. And the Camera they have of them memories creates a moment of warmth and heart to the film. And the ending was very well thought out, I loved how they did it, very clever.
However, if you were expecting a Horror, Like me you'll be disappointed.
Would I recommend this Film?,
No, not what I was Expecting. But, Sort of in a good way. 4.5/10.
