Pretty Fun and Inoffensive
stephenhuntercontact-1680830 December 2023
We took our kids to see this and both enjoyed it. It's pretty inoffensive and passes relatively painlessly as an adult. I wouldn't say it's particularly original or stands out amongst what else is available in animation - but we are in a golden era of the medium.

As a Brit, the accent of Don is right inside the uncanny valley. It's vaguely English but also occasionally touches on that of our Southern Hemisphere cousins. It occasionally threw me off.

I'm not convinced the kids would be asking to watch a 2nd one, or even rewatch this one. So, good way to pass a wet afternoon if you just need something on - but this isn't original or sharp enough to grab hold of you for long after the lights come up.

Don't compare it to Toy Story, please
calahao13 February 2024
As the advertising has insisted, this is essentially a retelling of Don Quixote through a Toy Story like world. Except of just toys, puppets and animals also talk, and there appears to be no unspoken rule about hiding from humans, which makes the set up especially confusing, given some things we later learn.

Animation wise, it's generic CGI, but the imagination sequences have a vivid painted style, which is quite pleasant to look at.

Story wise, the comparisions to Toy Story are really unfavourable, as this features a much more by the numbers plot, including a somewhat forced third act break-up. I will give credit, however, in how creative some of the actions by the characters are, as well as the concept of a self-run puppet show

Overall mid.

The Inseparables
CinemaSerf11 December 2023
If you're up on your Cervantes, then you will appreciate just why "Don" is fed up with being the butt of all the jokes amongst his puppet fraternity and so, in despair, sets off to tilt at a few windmills (without or without distressed ducklings). Along the way, he encounters the battery powered "DJ Doggy Dog" and they have some fun adventures together rescuing the needy. Meantime, back at their home the other puppets are under threat from two young burglars who want to kidnap and sell them. It's just by pure chance that our two dragon-defeating cavaliers stumble upon the warehouse where his erstwhile friends are being held captive. Can they figure out a way to save them from the bubblewrap? This is quite a fun action film that's peppered with some fun dialogue, imaginary derring-do and it delicately reinforces messages of team-playing, loyalty, family and not getting your electronic toys wet! The pace is quite good, the animation engaging to watch and though I'm not entirely sure what demographic it's aiming for, I still found it entertaining with a slightly more grown up "Pinocchio" style of storytelling.

"It's not harmful to dream, it's harmful not to dream"...

I'll start by saying that I found out about «The Inseparables» last year and started expecting it because it was made by my favorite Belgian animation studio, NWAVE.. Today I was finally able to watch it and what can I say about this cartoon?

«The Inseparables» - is a wonderful animated adventure for the whole family to watch.

The plot of the film is quite simple, But it was great, easy and interesting. The 90-minute running time flew by quickly, imperceptibly and with pleasure.

The cartoon teaches that dreams come true, the most important thing is not to give up and realize it in reality.

The jokes were funny and the characters were well developed.

With each new project, the studio has graphics Nwave is getting better and better, and you can see it in this cartoon. I don't want to compare the graphics of Disney or Pixar, which are more well-known companies, but as strange as it sounds, I would like to put Nwave next to Disney and Pixar studios in terms of graphics quality and more. Every hair, bush, drops of water were perfectly worked out, and not only them. Also, I really like how New York was shown in this cartoon. Parks, streets, and especially the night Times Square were shown atmosphericly, I even wanted to walk along it. In the scenes of the protagonist's fantasy, the animation was made in 2D style, something similar was recently used by the Disney studio in the cartoon «Wish».

I really liked the soundtrack of the cartoon, I want to mention the song «Where Is My Mind» by Puggy, , Egil Franzen, Romain Descampe and Matthew Irons. This song was perfect for what was happening on the screen, the rest of the songs were also good and also fit perfectly with what was happening.

As a result, «The Inseparables» - is an excellent, kind, wonderful cartoon that is worth watching on a gray and boring evening with your family. I think the cartoon will appeal to both children and adults.

Before I tell you, I would like to add something to my assessment. Studio Nwave They like to make references to their past cartoons and announce their next projects in new cartoons. In «The Inseparables» there was an announcement of the next cartoon, «Chickenhare 2: A New Adventure». This is a sequel to the 2022 cartoon, the first part was called «Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness». I haven't watched this cartoon yet, but I will definitely watch it when I have time. Also, after watching «The Inseparables», I wanted to rewatch the «The Son of Bigfoot» duology, someday I will also watch it if I have free time.

Well, it was quite embarrassing to go alone to a cartoon and sit in the hall when there were parents with children in the hall, but it was worth it!

My rating is 9 out of 10 and I recommend watching this cartoon with the whole family.

«A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality» John Lennon.
