Review of Mosley

Mosley (2019)
7/10
Very different to most animated films.

'Mosley' is a delightful feel-good animated film. It is much darker and deeper themed than most animated films, and I loved it! There were no comic relief characters, no silly slapstick humor (only effective, funny humor).

'Mosley' is a fun-filled, action adventure movie, as Mosley goes in search for the Uprights. The film could very well have been about the Egyptians. It tells of a once incredible, thought to be lost, civilization - called the Uprights. Yup, think Egyptians then and now. They even have hieroglyphics depicting the superior civilization, with the current nothing more than 'slaves'. Sound familiar?

Don't get me wrong, the film is by no means propaganda. It is actually all too fabulous! I loved every minute, and thought this was just stunning. Although animated, it might appeal more to a mature audience due to its darker, more complex theme. A young audience might enjoy it for the dinosaur look-alike characters. Either way, this is a film young and old are sure to enjoy. Mosley is a likable hero, while Warfield, the Hunter, makes for a creepy antagonist.

Would I watch it again? Yes.
