Absolutely the worst movie.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I had never even heard about this movie until Cartoon Network in Korea showed it as their Magatoon movie of the week. I was very impressed with the story - the characters are engaging, the story is complex enough to hold your interest without confusing you, and the artwork was superb.I would have given the movie a nine, but for one thing. Every time the movie dealt with the characters, the animation was gorgeous. But every time I was shown images of the ships on the sea, it switched to a horrible, unbalanced, inartistic computer animation. It completed ruined the entire aesthetic of the movie for me.Regardless, I do recommend this movie for all ani fans. It was, for me, a cast of unknowns, but I was completely impressed with the talents of all of them. Enjoy!

I must admit it - I'm too closely attached to the comics on which this movie is based to give a proper review on its own merits.As an adaptation though it has virtually nothing to do with the source material. The characters are in design halfway fitting, but for their personalities they lack everything they had in the strips. Here we have just three bored kids in a museum, who are looking for trouble. I don't know exactly when it was made clear in the comics that they are not children, but even so they have behaved much differently in the comics, much more matured - though still looking for adventure, but somehow it never came across this "childish" as in the movie. Here we have these kids trying to act as grown-ups without doing much to the story than an actual child would have, while in the comics they were usually the driving forces in the stories, showing wits and maturity most of the time.For the movie itself, I think, it's okay. Indeed more intended for young children than for us elders who know the comics too well. As such it is a nice time-travel story, including some magic (beyond the time-travel itself) ans a lot of pirates.As a fan of the Mosaik comics I was hugely disappointed, that the filmmakers basically made an animation for young kids, disguised as a movie featuring the Abrafaxe. It can be best described featuring three kids that were fans of the Abrafaxe and had their costumes...

This is very good, maybe even great animated cartoon. I don't know anything about Abrafaxe comic books, but Abrafaxe movie is clever and very entertaining movie. Besides that, it is so funny!It's a story about three teens friends, who come to the middle age Caribbean with pirates, Spanish galleons and lost treasures, through the mysterious ancient artifact. This adventure becomes dangerous for them but friendship, loyalty and cleverness help them in all troubles. Action is good, sound and visual effects also fine.Abrafaxe is one of my favorite non-Disney animation and also in my top ten all-time animated movies. My congratulations to Gerhard Hahn and Tony Power. They could make extremely good movie without big costs. Recommend to all, but especially for teen animation fans.8,0 out of 10

Being a pirate sometimes is dangerous! Being on the other side, the good people, it is even more. And when three kids, a piece of gold, some fantasies and some action are put together, adding some special sound and visual effects, a travel back in history can get all of us a nice cartoon movie! Check it yourself...
