Isda, Dalawa, Tatlo

About This Movie

So, this film, 'Isda, Dalawa, Tatlo', is quite the quirky little gem in the animated comedy sphere. You have this shy young boy wrestling with the idea of circumcision, which is a pretty unusual theme for a family film. The atmosphere is light but carries this underlying tension, almost like a coming-of-age tale, just with a whimsical twist courtesy of his pet goldfish, Junior. The animation style is charmingly simple, and I appreciate how it brings a certain warmth to the story. The pacing might feel a tad slow for some, but it works well to build up the boy's character and his unique predicament. It’s distinct because it tackles a culturally rich theme with humor and innocence, which you don’t see often in animation.

The film is relatively obscure, which adds to its charm for collectors. It's not widely circulated, so finding a good copy can be a challenge. There have been a few format releases, but they often come in limited quantities. Interest seems to be growing among those who appreciate unique cultural narratives in animation, making it a conversation starter among collectors.
