Video Brinquedo has a lousy reputation....a reputation they apparently worked hard to create. Over the years, they have essentially piggybacked off the success of popular CGI films by producing their own version with similar titles but with god-awful production values. While it might sound like I am exaggerating, Pixar was making better films back in the mid-1980s when they produced their first film, "André and Wally B."! In fact, I cannot recall EVER seeing computer animated films this bad ever. The character faces are expressionless, they move in a blocky and unnatural manner and, overall, they're just incredibly ugly. I would truly be ashamed to be associated with films like those of Video Brinquedo.
"What's Up" was billed as another "UP!"--with posters featuring a house being floated with a giant balloon. However, the story really isn't that similar. Instead, it's about a couple annoying scientists who have created a machine to make things float and they want to use it to float their lab to other planets. Along for the ride are two annoying kids. There also is a monster and some other stuff...but, frankly, by the time it came to them in the film I was bored beyond belief and ready to end my suffering.
Overall, a film that wouldn't even interest a toddler let alone anyone else. Cheaply made, dull and god-awful.
