Michael's Movie Grade: C
An okay animated film from Spain.
This movie is a comedy starring an inept detective. Because of this it can feel quite similar to many films based around similar characters. While it may not be as funny as The Pink Panther movies, it does have its moments. There are not many laugh out loud moments here, but there are definitely some gags that made me smile or giggle. The main character is a fun one and his ineptness as well as his misplaced self-confidence, lead to a lot of fun. His relationship with his sidekick was also quite good. While the mystery may be very similar to what we have seen before, it has enough to keep its audience entertained. The animation is honestly quite good, and I very much enjoyed the design work as well.
Unfortunately, many of the side characters here, come off as very bland and boring. The film also never really took advantage of its interesting setting. Also, even at less than an hour and half this movie can feel longer than it needs to be.
This is not a great movie by any means, but it is entertaining enough.
