Egon and Donci

 In a nutsell this is a friggin' awesome movie. Massive! Absolutely recommended!

 (The movie is freely downloadable. Here is their main site: http://www.kommuna.org)

Summary

Egon

 The plot starts around a little peaceful planet where Egon, and his cat - like friend, Donci lives, the first always dreaming of stars and other planets, the second, well, just delicious sausages. One night there comes a big bang where next day the little cat finds the golden disc near the crater where Voyager 3 crashed in. Well, the actual story begins here as Egon, figuring out the disc, but due to an accident relating to his little friend's gluttony, missing the final details, whose rocket was near completion by the way, decides to set on a trip to visit the creators of this "strange" civilization...

Graphics

Donci & the Voyager disc

 The shining point of the movie is the awesome quality 3D animation, probably reaching a point where you would wonder if there is anything possible beyond. The leaves on the trees, the grass, the shape of the yellow pepper all look simply just natural. The atmosphere at planet Pluto imagined as a cold ice planet is probably unmatchable to anything i had ever seen. The many object which the camera discovers during the journey all look insanely realistic in their own environment. You can see and almost feel the texture of wood with all it's little humps, the rust on the wrench, or the old textile of which the little mouse toy was made. The only backside i could mention is probably the excessive camera animations at the beginning which may make you feel a little dizzy.

Audio & speech

 The sounds and music always fits very well to the atmosphere of the story. You can even hear Beethoven at a point, or well, you can catch the tune which develops out soon. The choices are very well made always adding a lot to the visual effects going on. The effects are also all fine, it is interesting to note though that there are not much talking in the movie, not that it would really need it. The good in this is that anyone can watch and will understand it, so this way the movie is truly international (There is a small text epilogue at the end which is presented in many languages). Hovewer if you are Hungarian, you may make out a few little mumblings, and a very few (one or two) textual references if you pay attention.

Story

 There are a lot of anomalies in the story, but well, this is a tale, not an all serious movie. You will just notice those, but the whole design of the movie suggests telling a tale, so unless you take stuff abnormally serious, it won't hurt anything: the story goes well with them. Well, this movie has not got too much of what could be called a real story, it is all simple and straightforward at this subject, but this again is not a real problem this case as the design and the flow of events make up for this. It is simply that the goal of the movie was not to present a drama, but just to tell a sort of tale in an artistic way which it succeed extremely well. There is a moral though which in my opinion fits well to todays life.
