Why so much hype?

Sadly Over-hyped

good back-story, and good acting

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

In the suburbs, there is a pixies village hidden in a ditch. Sam and his friends live in the village. His brother William is crushed by a trash bag from the human world. The Pixie King declares a curse on the human named Joe Beck. Sam and his friends cause havoc in his life even at his garage shop. He crashes into Michelle Meyers and falls head over heels. He discovers the pixies and captures Sam.This is an animated Canadian movie. The animation is rudimentary akin to the late 90s production level. It's better than film student level but less than theatrical release level. The designs are a little ugly especially the pixies and Michelle. The story is functional although it needs to be more straight. There is an environmental bent but it needs fully embrace it. Better animation would help a lot in smoothing out the rougher spots.

The Pixies is a very hilarious comedy movie. In the story the main characters are Joe Beck and his pixie rival who keeps pulling tricks on him. Joe Beck encounters danger at every single turn as he tries desperately to avoid punishment by the Pixies for doing something wrong a long time ago. After a while Joe decides that these pixies problems are interfering with his life in every way possible. He finally decides to learn more about the pixie culture. One of the best things that were done with this story is the fact that the fictional pixie history was created by these brilliant people who had a great imagination. Also the animators did a fantastic job with the different character they were assigned to work on. Overall the film gives an interesting link between the real world and the fantasy world of folklore.

The Pixies Movie is extremely entertaining especially for an animated movie, which is something quite unexpected. It follows the story of Joe Back who works as a mechanic at an auto shop whose life turns upside down the moment some evil-behaving pixies show up. For a while Joe, who is the main character thinks he must be losing his mind, until he realizes that Sam the pixie is ultimately responsible for his problems, but then everything changes because Joe loses his girlfriend thanks to the pixies. At this point it's up to Joe to stop the endless cycle of back-and-forth fights between him and the pixies, and get his life back. Cinematography was excellent in the film and the characters were all colorful and it added to the project. Most movies have a moral or a lesson to be learned, and the Pixies film is the same in that regard. In this story the characters learn from their mistakes, and the greatest moral to learn is that revenge is never the answer to a dispute between two parties. Therefore the Pixies is a great movie to watch and it's good for a very family friendly audience.

Most animated films use variations of the same type of story: the main character has to overcome certain obstacles in order to achieve his goal and there is a climax with a seemingly invincible antagonist. Except what if instead of one there were an entire colony of antagonists in the form of magical creatures? In the film known as Pixies, a village of pixies led by an absolute monarch pixie who is in charge of the entire kingdom declares war on a human after he threatens the very existence of his subjects. During this time the pixies curse the human is named Joe Beckman, and before he knows it his life is spiraling out of control into chaos. It is up to him to break the curse that the pixies set up on him before it's too late. However the downside of this film is that it's dark undertones of vengeance towards the second half of the movie might be a little too dark for some of the young audience members. Despite this minor issue I know deep down inside that this movie is going to do really well, and it's one of the best animated movies that I have ever seen.
