LA GALLINA TURULECA (TURU, THE WACKY HEN)
Watchable. Turu isn't wacky. She's cute. The beginning is all filled with the love of animals and kindness between people. Then, about 20 minutes in, a circus appears. Does the institution of a circus even exist any more? Why is the idea of reviving one peddled in children movies over and over again? That ruins most of the plot. What saves the picture, are songs - in 3 languages: English, Spanish and translated into Polish - all characters are dubbed in Poland. Remastered hits like "Funky Town" and "Macarena" make your feet dance. Sadly, it's recorded in 5.1 but even in this system, a knocking on the door sounded so realistic I turned back. Ah, and the hen remarks she's more than just the eggs she's expected to lay - a nice nod towards career-oriented women.
