DON’T CALL HER A PRINCESS!
Once upon a time there was an orphan called Pil who came between the heir apparent (who had been turned into a half-cat, half-chicken) and a wicked throne usurper. Thereās nothing wrong with the look and design of this wild fairy tale; some of the details are equal to Hollywood, which is rare to see in European-made animated films for kids. A very traditional adventure comes with offbeat ingredients, but nothing that really stands out. Whatās worse, most of the jokes (and there are many) fall flat. Ā
