Story from South America

About This Movie

So, 'Story from South America' is a 2013 animation that takes a rather unique spin on the original. The vibe is different—there's a more playful, yet slightly dark atmosphere this time around. The pacing feels a bit off in spots, but it kind of works with the chaotic nature of the story. The dad and son duo, now guards at this bizarre animal prison, are put in a morally tricky situation which adds layers to the narrative. The performances, albeit animated, carry a certain warmth and humor that gives depth to the characters. And those practical effects—there's something charming about the way they depict the monkey gang. Overall, it’s got its own quirky charm, despite being a sequel.
