I thought the ending was beautiful. They transcended their limited reality to be together somewhere beautiful. It’s the best ending that could’ve happened
The film is a fairytale loosely inspired by Greek lore, the gods are related by blood, it's more an allegory for opposing Elements, Yin and Yang... It's a fantasy film, the sea creature are supposed to look fantastical and silly Mugwomp (Mabuse) is a giant salamander Oceanus sends Sirius and Malta's spirits into the stars
I had a possible theory that both Sirius and Malta when they died, and sent to the stars they were reborn as the planet earth since Oceanus said that Sirius and Malta could create a new world.
So basically, everything made by Sanrio except Hello Kitty is made to punch the viewer in the gut. Also, Disney will never touch Romeo and Juliet? Uh, you might want to see The Lion King 2...
TheHeroOfTomorrow Hi I didn't like sage's devilman review. You got upvotes from people who agreed with you're opinion. Berserk wouldn't exist without devilman.
16:52 There's a turtle that understands quantum physics and can make molecular reconstruction machine out of blenders and pizza boxes and this is the turtle you question.
Great review! You've pointed out many things in this film that I both like (the animation and music) and dislike (the plotholes and a few flat characters).
This is my all-time favorite movie, that movie we all have that is just... 'our movie', ya know? So to say I was nervous when I saw this pop up is a bit of an understatement. Not because you tend to be overly critical or hateful, just because I've seen reviewers I really like and respect tear apart movies I love unexpectedly. Nostalgia Critic did that with another one of my favorites, and while he normally acknowledges every good quality he can find and only hates on the genuinely bad stuff... he seemed almost like he had a grudge towards that movie, didn't mention a single positive, and every critique except one was very nitpicky. So I just get... paranoid in these situations. lol I'm totally happy just seeing you acknowledged some of the positives, like the beautiful visuals and the fact they had the guts to end the film in tragedy, while otherwise basically feeling indifferent. It's definitely not for everyone. Enjoyable review. You might want to check out Winds of Change. I believe it's also by Sanrio. I love it, but I'll be the first to admit it's not... great. It is very inventive and has some great visuals, though, and in spite of its flaws (sometimes massive ones) it's still strangely enjoyable. But if you do decide to review it, have a BIG censor bar ready. ^^;
I was glad I had seen this review back in your blip days. I remember seeing the trailer to this movie in a DVD of Unico in the Island of Magic. I of course had never heard of this film prior to seeing the trailer. It very eye catching, but seeing as how it's a tragic love story where everybody dies (I exaggerate), I kinda lost interest. I was still recovering from Windaria. Anyway you saved me $10-$20 and I'm grateful for that.
Can you find one lost movie it's called "Leobunny in the fancy book of planet" please because I cannot find on youtube!!!!! If you can tell the story about of this movie. It was Italian movie!!!!
Lol, the comment section seems to be the last remnants of people who remember the Lion King 2, and not just abandon it for "all the poorly made 2000s era Disney sequels".
LOL! The plot was such a cluster fuck of nonsense. Like, so many things did not make sense. I think the biggest question I had at one point through the movie was, if the turtle knew WHY the fire and water children couldn't be together, then WHY THE HELL didn't he just tell Sirius in the first place?! It's like he just conveniently forgot about the whole evil god spreading the rumour about the brother and sister thing and was just like, meh, it's not important. SO many plot holes lmfao! XD
Seriously, that ending. Are we... SUPPOSED to feel comforted that they both received a sky burial?
It's like Sharkboy and Lavagirl. But better.

Refreshing to see another cartoon/movie take advantage if one of Williaim Shakespeare's greatest tragedies.
This is one of my first favorite movies and soundtracks!!! Love that you featured this!!!!!!!!!!
16:52 There's a turtle that understands quantum physics and can make molecular reconstruction machine out of blenders and pizza boxes and this is the turtle you question.
To be honest I think the English isn't that bad but the Japanese version is awesome
Well I'm glad someone enjoys it. I can't listen to it for longer than 15 minutes before screaming "oh god my ears".
oh, I LUV this!!! The Mer-Romeo and Fire-Juliet anime film!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜 one of the best R&J retellings EEEVEEER!!!
Their first cousins that's incest
This takes place in the same universe as Spongebob Squarepants! Water underwater!
I love all these old Sanrio Toei animation movies this was my childhood renting the VHS copies at my movie store.
Great review! You've pointed out many things in this film that I both like (the animation and music) and dislike (the plotholes and a few flat characters).
4:11 Spongebob logic.
If this was a comedy like Spongebob it wouldn't stick out so much.

well I just watched it and I totally hated it lol. Thank you anyways
This guy gets it....except my movie would be the second Peter Pan movie lol
Also a great obscure cartoon from the 1980s which was also my favorite...I'm weird....was a movie called Twice Upon A Time! Check it!
Does anime snob live in South Jersey? Because he will fit right in.
The robot part was a coincidence part. In the Japanese dub(Legend of Sirius) the boy prince was voiced by Toru Furuya(Amuro Ray of Gundam 0079).
what about Lion King 2? that was a disney-fied Romeo & Juliet
not with merfolk vs. fire spirits, which is faaaar cooler!!!
+Sandra Dermark then check out the French film Children of the Rain... fire nazis, mer pacifists, and star-crossed lovers
+Sandra Dermark it's even better!!
16:07 *starts writing a fanfic about this higher power*
well, that happened
Lol, that was a dark ending tho

15:12 Seriously, what is up with anime and incest!? Why Japan, just *why!?*
Greek mythology, look it up.
Mugwamp is a salamander.
It's genius! Pure emotional genius! Glad there's more than just Disney. Why can't Disney have a Disney Mature division?
Can you find one lost movie it's called "Leobunny in the fancy book of planet" please because I cannot find on youtube!!!!! If you can tell the story about of this movie. It was Italian movie!!!!
Jokes on you Rob Disney already did Romeo and Juliet with the Lion King 2
