CHARACTER DESIIIIIIIIIGGNNNS!!!
I'm sorry, but I am obsessed with character designs. The shapes, the diversity, the characteristics, the personalities. Even the sounds, from the handyman who resembles a mouse making squeaking sounds, to the idiotic bike riders being treated like work horses, thus making neigh sounds. The waiter, so obsequious that his figure droops in servility to the bodyguards, their towering black shoulders resembling coffins. Paired with the fluid careful yet comically exaggerated animation, this movie's style absolutely captivated me from beginning to end.
The story is nothing stellar or crazy amazing, but I don't think it was ever meant to be. If anything, it was meant to be a very simple story of a grandmother caring about her grandson so much she ventures across the ocean and fights the entire French mafia to save him. The film's style is unique in its silliness, from old ladies eating fresh frogs to cars falling down hills to the whole plot. I mean the fact that Madame Souza is so lucky she never gets hit by the mafia's bullets while traveling at 3 miles an hours? That's just silly.
