Letterboxd Review: La Leyenda de la Llorona - 2011

 


Story - Based on a famous Mexican legend, a group of kids must stop the ghost of a woman whose guilt over the drowning of her own children leads her to abduct youngsters who wander the woods at night in this subtitled, Spanish-language animated adventure.
Cast - Yair Prado, Mónica del Carmen, Rafael Inclán, Andrés Couturier
Crew - Alberto Rodríguez (Director/Writer), Ricardo Arnais (Writer), Omar Mustre (Writer), Jesús Gumán (Writer)
Runtime - 81 minutes

         

I’ve not been really a big fan of the franchise, but this one is perhaps the best of all the movies related to Leyendas.

It uses the most popular tale of La Llorona as a base, it works as a kid's movie and it is very entertaining (various physical gags and comedy). I wish it wasn’t so A and B plot, they often do that in these stories where one is more serious and the other is just comedy and absurd, it gives the movie a lack of focus and tonal shift.

The animation, compared to the first movie is vastly improved, I haven’t seen them first in many years but I’ve tried and that’s the aspect I hate the most. In this installment, the designs are more consistent, detailed and the animation is more fluid, the 3D objects are not as distracting as they once were.

Cast  -  Matt Walsh Crew  -  Justin Folk (Director) Runtime   - 95  minutes           What is a woman? A woman is someone who claims that as their identity. After two years of the pandemic, many theater chains and venues are struggling to put people in their seats, it is harder than ever to get a group of 150–200 people to sit quietly and watch a drama, comedy, or even horror movie, surprisingly, one category of film that has seen a consistent demographic to show up are "conservative" or "right-wing" movies. This is not a new phenomenon, there have always been movies whose primary audiences were conservative, republican, and white throughout history, but this new era of filmmaking has been growing and gaining more attention after the release of the 2023 movie 'Sound of Freedom'. The supposed docum...

Moon Girl and Disney´s Transphobia.

            "How many doors do I have to break through until they stop locking me out"           ​Disney is a spineless company, they have shown time and time again that whenever they are faced with a controversy or backlash a change in their policies and approach to new stories will happen. During their battle with Florida´s governor Ron DeSantis they not only lost their perfect image with conservatives–something they were struggling to maintain since their recent movies and TV shows have been criticized by the diverse cast and stories–but also an active boycott by, what it appeared at the time, groups of conservative fanatics. It is November of 2024 and the culmination of these stories reached its peak when convicted felon and ex-President of the US Donald Trump was reelected to be the 47th president of said country. It is clear that everything is becoming more conservative, more than the previous 10 years. As expected, this is si...
