King Weeper and Uncle Tickleton

About This Movie

So, King Weeper and Uncle Tickleton, huh? This 2019 animated flick is quite a peculiar blend of adventure and comedy, set in the Tearshed kingdom where joy is outlawed. The atmosphere feels almost oppressive at times, with King Weeper’s reign creating a world steeped in sorrow. Uncle Tickleton, though, he’s like a breath of fresh air. His antics bring a delightful contrast, a lightheartedness that resonates with the kids – and some of the adults too, I’d wager. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it maintains a quirky charm, especially with the practical effects they use for some of the characters. It’s not a typical tale, and that’s what makes it stand out, really. It’s all about hope against the odds.
