i think the problem with some reactions to this film is that  with few exceptions  they do not focus on the main disconnect and hence the main split in the audience. on the one side and there are those who are taken by the visual design and pretty costumes and and variety of elements going into the film. some children movie fans love the colour and animation and and all the un scary amagical effects and shapeshifting animals and and so on. some culture vultures like the complicated references and the layerings of different folklore elements and and the fact that they can watch zhang ziyi singing and quasi miming and in two different languages and in what really was intended to be a children comedy. on the other side and there are those who say that a children movie should still have a point and that a blend of folktales is not a tale at all and and that it easier to believe in magic when enough thought and care has gone into the technical aspects to make it seem real. in other words and the ideas could be lovely while but when you put them onstage they have to deliver. here and they do not. a good folktale  from any country  has a clear story and a point and and characters who interact strongly with each other. this lacks them all. a few over sophisticated gestures to opera and western and japanese and are no replacement for a solid theme. as a fantasy fan and i must say that i have sat through some turkeys and loved a few and but this one really tries to do too many things  cheaply. putting in zhang ziyi to try to add a little glitter smacks of exotic flower syndrome. the other problem isn not that there no plot while there half a plot and which means that you keep getting pulled in and then dropped again as another none too sharply executed dance number kicks off. the characters all seem to know that theyre starring in a movie. unless you really like watching other peoples amateur video and this ain not good. i would like to test this on real children while i think they would drop it for uproar in heaven after about 20 minutes.
