Pourquoi j'ai pas mangé mon père

There is obviously a lot of passion in the ratings for this movie, it's mostly either 1 or 10 stars. I didn't have any expectations for the movie, so I was happily surprised. I watched the original French version, and I can well understand that people who don't know or like the two generations of French comedians Jamel Debbouze and Louis de Funès didn't get into the movie, especially Jamel, with his fast French-Moroccan accent from the suburbs. But I found both totally suitable to the characters and Jamel absolutely terrific. Actually, all of the characters' voices were excellent, there was a lot of work choosing the right voices, accents and tonality for these characters, in addition to the funny dialog. A great family comedy, kids will easily follow the simple plot, although kids and people not familiar with French culture will not benefit from all the hidden humor like some references. There is a bit of the Croods' theme, a tribe leaving its safe haven for the Unknown, and quite a few other borrowings from it, but the whole story is still very different. The almost human faces were a bit upsetting to me, almost too realistic. ;) Definitely a reference animation I will probably watch a few more times, one star less than The Croods I already watched at least 5 times, in English and in French. And there's not that many French full feature animation movies either.
