I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Even though the film is of Mexican origin, it was totally produced in Argentina by Hook Up Animation studio which has been in charge of its production since the story board, composition and the editing of the film as well. With a crew of about 90 artists and for a period of more than 13 months, the studio was responsible for the elaboration and direction of the 2D and 3D animation, including the art direction, characters and background design, creating more than 150,000 original cartoons. Along all this time, work has been devised in order to be able to overcome one of the most important challenges: that is, give life to these well known characters conceived on the internet, and take them to the big screen. Results show that these people are on the right track. The movie released on the 21st of April in its original country was a hit, having reached 2,500,000 viewers. Plot: a cute and funny small farm egg named "Toto" wants to fulfill his purpose in life and become a chicken instead of dying in a frying pan; so he starts a quest to return to the farms along with his new friend, the noisy egg Willy and a crazy bacon stripe, Tocino. The three friends will face lot of obstacles in their quest.Hook Up Animation is an Animation Studio with more than five years in career and with successful experience in the international animated industry. At present they are developing their own projects with the goal of becoming a content provider as well as offering production services in the near future-- Lic Pilar Martinez Frugoni Prensa Hook Up Animation Cel: (156-636-1558)

Well, I've been a fan of Huevo Cartoons for years, and honestly, the movie is kinda disappointing... Don't get me wrong, for some people who haven't seen their work before, it may not seem that bad, but for me, who I'm used to their REAL type of humor, this was just an entertaining movie that could have been SO much better without trying to soften the humor for the kid's sake, I think they'd have been much better off by just rating the movie as an adult's movie so that they could exploit the real potential of the movie, after all, the success they've had in the internet speaks by itself... But this movie can't give any idea of their real work to people who have never seen their sketches on the internet... Hopefully, next time (if there's another after this one)they'll exploit the whole potential and create better characters with another type of story... I mean, not so much for kids :-s , because, anyway, the people who watch their cartoons on the internet aren't kids (and if there are, believe me they're doing it behind their parents backs).I'll give the movie a 6 because the animation was good, and I got a couple of laughs from some things in the movie.

In the late 90s, brothers Gabriel and Rodolfo Riva Palacio started a small series of animated shorts that they distributed via internet. This shorts were humorous sketch comedies about living eggs and their misfortunes that due to their successful mix of cartoon-like animation and witty jokes became a very popular download in Spanish-speaking countries. Years after that unexpected success, the Riva Palacio brothers got enough funding to create a feature length movie about their animated eggs that could keep the spirit of their short animations. "Una Película De Huevos" (literally, "A Film About Eggs") was the result of that effort.The film tells the story of Toto (Bruno Bichir), a "newborn" egg whose dream of becoming a chicken is shattered when he is selected by the farmer to be sent to a mall to be sold. Decided to not end his days as breakfast, he joins a group of rebel eggs in their escape plan but he is abandoned after the plan is screwed up. Now, with the help of another abandoned egg named Willy (Carlos Espejel) and a lunatic bacon stripe, he is on a quest to escape from the city and find a farm where he'll be able to finally become a chicken.Sure, at first sight one wonders how a movie about talking eggs can work, but this one not only works, it's actually very good at it. Giving a new face to the classic hero's journey to find himself, the Riva Palacio brothers fill the movie with their witty brand of comedy although toned down so it could be enjoyed by kids of any age. The use of slapstick, irony, parody and all the elements that made their short animations famous are present in the film so it won't disappoint their followers.The animation work is probably among the best seen in a Mexican film (animated productions are not common in the country), and the mix of traditional animation and computer-generated one is very fluid and barely noticeable. The story unfolds at a nice pace and while the story is obviously predictable, its great dose of humor and the overall well-development of the script make up for that flaw. It probably is not the best Mexican film ever made, but it is a big step forward for the young industry of animation in Mexico.The voice work is remarkable and basically it gives the soul to the film and is the element that makes it so charming. Bruno Bichir and Carlos Espejel are great as the lead characters, with the serious attitude of the former making a good contrast with the comedic nature of the latter. As in the original shorts, the Riva Palacio brothers give their voices too and Rodolfo appears as the charming villain Coco and Gabriel as the Confi, the stoned hippie egg. Angélica Vale appears as Bibi, the romantic interest of our heroes, although her performance is nothing amazing.The film is overall very good, but it has some details that diminishes its quality. The fact that the characters were originated in short films is apparent when some scenes seem too silly or with the only purpose of increasing the runtime to a feature length. However, its only true serious trouble lays in what is probably also its greatest strength: the kind of humor it uses the most (verbal) is not easy to translate to other languages, as even other variants of Spanish may struggle to get some of the jokes."Una Película De Huevos" is a very good film and a huge step for Mexican animators. While probably most of its humor will be lost in translation to the non-Spanish speaking audience, it still is a very recommended film and hopefully, the beginning of a new generation of young Mexican filmmakers. 7/10

This is definitely a movie for Mexico. The animations are funny clips that you could download from the internet, sometimes for free sometimes for money. Due to the rising popularity it was obvious that the makers should try and make a full-length motion picture. the result was a funny story which's only goal is to entertain. Some of the jokes are impossible to understand in anything but Mexican Spanish, still it can be interesting for everyone. The animation is pretty good and you will be able to find some interesting shots as well as the blend of music and characters which are quite few. The story is not much, but all you have to do is to remember that it is just a cartoon and should enjoy bits and pieces of it and not expect Shakespeare meets dream works.
