Im only being so feisty with the numbers because of the low quality animation. The characters rock. The idea is gold. The plot is funny as hell. The dialogue is funny as well. and I saw this about three times and loled each occasion.

Good job and happy Holidays!

why is it rated only T for Teen? It drops the F-bomb in its title and it deals with a grisly death.

But rating schematics aside, it does present the concept of "How in-game puzzles are useless" into a realistic setting. Nothing we haven't seen before, but done well enough so that it's occurrence becomes both ironic and entertaining.

Drawing presents a unique brownish hue that decrypts something between a noir and realistic setting. Since the idea is to make it a realistic detective story that is interrupted by useless puzzles true to the original Professor Layton games, it is only iconic.

The sound presents a serious tone that provides contrast to the nature of the film. It makes the jokes presented seem out of place - in a way that is laughable.

There is little animation in this film. Not much movement is shown, and the movement hat is shown has a "shadow puppet" feel to it that does its job of revealing the characters and nothing more.

The jokes are well placed, as stated before, and work well in the setting. If this was a bit less predictable I would give it a ten rather then a nine.

I hope you find this commentary helpful :).
