A nice and sensitive Spanish animated film about two orphan brothers and set in the Wild West.

Adventures, humor, fantasy and action in this 3D cartoon film, this is a blockbuster movie that younger people will appeal. On the day the Statue of Liberty is inaugurated, Tom and Mary, two Irish orphan brothers, disembark in New York to join their uncle in California. To get there, the young people will sneak on a train that is carrying other orphans to be adopted by other pioneers of the Wild West. During the trip they will meet Nick, a new and surprising friend who will change their lives and are pursued buy a gand led by outlaw villain Wilson who bears remarkable resemblance to the late actor Lee Van Cleef. The film is based on authentic events and is dedicated to the memory of the real Nick, director's son Nico, who had the same disease.Innocence, joy, positivity, adventure, action and emotion are the keys to this spectacular film that in 2024 achieved the best box office opening for a Spanish animated film since 'Mummies'. There's non-stop entertainment with frenetic action, good staging, various Wild West characters modeled after villains, Indians, and adventures of all kinds with three protagonists: the two likeable brothers and their wheelchair friend Nick. Juan Jesús García Galocha, director of Mummies and Pedro Solís Garcia, the multi-award-winning director of ¨Cuerdas¨ (Guinness record for the most awarded short film in the world), direct this exciting animated adventure for the whole family. Buffalo Kids (2024) has ¨the adventure, action and humor of ¨Mummies¨ and the emotion and sensitivity of ¨Cuerdas¨, as explained by Pedro Solís. The film is technically notable with a colorful and popular approach accentuated by contrasts of time and space. The story, with basic positive messages, action enough and continous amusement, it does stand out for its inventiveness in humor, originality or the keys it handles.There's a good and lively musical score by the presitigious Fernando Velazquez, adding some catching song, such as: "Show Me" . This 'Feel Good Movie' was well directed by Juan Jesús Garcia Galocha and Pedro Solís, getting some deserved nominations in festivals : Goya Awards, Gaudí Awards, Shanghai International Film Festival, London Critics Circle Film Awards . Galocha was the creative director of the first two installments of ¨Tadeo Jones¨ and made the successful ¨Mummies¨. While Pedro Solís has participated as a 3D Artist in the animated shorts "Tadeo Jones" and "Tadeo Jones and the Temple of Doom". With "The Bruxa", his first film as director and screenwriter, he was awarded with the 2011 Goya Award for The Best Animated Short Film and some other important prizes. "The Adventures of Tad Jones" was performed in 2012, film in which he worked as a Director of Production. He has worked as Director of Production, in the space fantasy adventure "Capture the Flag" and the second installment to 2012's "Tad, the Lost Explorer." And of course he made the acclaimed animated short ¨Cuerdas¨. Rating: 8/10 , the movie is dedicated to Nico, who passed away in 2021. A film especially aimed at little ones and lovers of animated action.

Builds to a good family movie

This is something a bit different to all the animated movies out there. It has a more grown up plot and storyline and is quite rough and tumble, navigating some pretty heavy stuff for the younger audience like kidnapping, killing, and that's the sort of language used. It isn't trying to be Minions where everyone is made of rubber and can fly through walls, it tries to get you invested in a real tale of life or death heroics.That said, it fails to achieve that in the first half. The pacing felt way off in the first half, parts which should grab you fall flat, feel rushed or incoherent in the editing. The cinematography in these scenes had the same feeling, as did the expressions of the characters. Everything falls a little flat early on and the indifference in the cinema when we saw it was palpable in the early stages. I suspect a lot of footage was cut or quickly edited to reduce the runtime, and it felt like they picked the wrong stuff to cut. It was a shame because the movie really delivers in the second half.Once they reach the scenes set in the mine, things changed. Everything improved. The pacing, the cinematography and the characters came to life.All in all, a good family movie, well worth a watch. Don't give up on it in the first half, things begin to flow much better as it progresses.
