Magic realism used to be a staple genre in children’s movies even as recently as a decade ago, until heroes flying around in capes flooded the scene and made the genre seek refuge in the wonderland of animation creation at Disney and Pixar. Occasionally, movies like The Legend of Catclaws Mountain try to recapture the lost charm of those classics of yesteryear, but as it turns out, the biggest hindrance in their way is their lack of ingenuity and inability to commit to a coherent idea. The obvious budget constraints or poor acting by the leads can be overlooked if the idea has the mettle to convince viewers otherwise. Unfortunately, The Legend of Catclaws Mountain doesn’t have that, which makes going through the entirety of the movie a painful ordeal.
