Cryptozoo (2021)
3/10
Dis is nicht sehr gut (Not so good)

This is not so good. The critics' review were positive, even gushing. So I was intrigued. But it's adolescent storytelling. Puerile even.

Story opens with a hippie couple getting naked in the woods, humping, then the guy gets gored to death by a unicorn. A few scenes later a satyr is having an ugly human orgy. Then a gorgon shows up. She wants to help the protagonist save crypto animals because she's faced prejudice herself as a crypto. (She can turn us to stone if she takes her contacts out.)

So I think, okay, lousy first act. Let's see. So I skip ahead and land on a scene with an old lady looking at her crypto zoo. A big green abominable snowman comes in behind her.

I think, you don't suppose the writers can't think of anything else?

No, they can't. Green snowman and old lady be banging. And as the cartoonist said, I'm sorry, brother, I didn't start that 'abominable' stuff. But I'll need you to help if we're going to get anywhere.

I found it unwatchable, which is too bad, because I liked the concept and the animation. The dream-eating creature was cool.
