While taking some ques from anime, the film's art style takes just as much influence from other European animation to give it a unique look with great potential for character expression.Īnother element of the film that highlights the skill of the film's artists is its action sequences. When it is revealed that Joris has a strong connection to a powerful artifact, its keeper pursues him, forcing Joris into an adventure to save everyone he loves.Ī majority of the film's art is done in Flash and it is simply beautiful, with the feature-size budget allowing for some gorgeous cityscapes and scenery with loads of detail.

We follow Joris, an odd-looking youth happily enjoying his life as an assistant to his adoptive father Kerubim, who runs a shop full of magic items he has collected over his long life of adventuring. While it doesn't waste time explaining everything, it doesn't really have to when most things boil down to "a magical version of (blank)". THANKFULLY the film doesn't require the viewer to have brushed-up on their Wakfu history prior to watching it, as the first act moves fairly slowly to allow for the basics to be established.

The world of Ankama's Dofus would later get a series as well, which this film is more or less a conclusion to, though its still set nearly 500 years prior to their Wakfu series. Despite the dub being hit or miss at times, I found it hard not to be fascinated by all of the creative ideas that fleshed-out the world. This series is how I was eventually introduced to the franchise, as its Kickstarter-backed English dub was brought to Netflix in 2014.

The latter of which got its own TV series produced in-house in the late 2000's to allow the game's creators to retain creative control. The French studio Ankama is widely known for their MMORPGs Dofus and its sequel Wakfu. A perfect score is witheld from the cons I felt could have been easily avoided, but it is still a truly great film. It oozes with the love and passion I've come to expect from Ankama, and it shows even more with a truly dedicated work of film. The opening preamble of French text is not accompanied by English subs. The subbed translation misses out on certain subtle pieces of dialogue. Ending scene was relatively anti-climatic, overly happy moment comes at the cost of preceeding a very emotional and important one. Pacing of the film was spotty in some areas, but overall enjoyable. Blood and violence, not extremely gory however. Abundance of risque humor that may not be enjoyed by some and partial nudity Every scene is a feast for the eyes, even those that last just a few seconds. A welcome addition of lore to the franchise So I would most certainly recommend watching those as well. It is however, enjoyed much more when having been exposed to the Wakfu and Dofus series. Wakfu and Dofus have always had some of the best animation in the industry, this is most certainly no different. If you do not come for the story, characters or universe they inhabit, you'll most likely be charmed by the lovable characters, and beautiful art by the end of it. The voice acting and audio is top notch, the animation is smooth, brimming with detail and subtle movements. What passes in France, may not pass elsewhere, nudity is present, albeit not frontal, and there is blood in relatively small amounts, so parents be advised. Despite the film being bright, and cutesy, make no mistake, this is not a film for children in some countries. I did like the characters, but I did feel they substracted a bit much from our main protagonist. My biggest critiques would be the ending being rushed, and the wanton libido between two of the characters Khan and Bakara, they're a humorous duo, but I feel it gets in the way of Joris' story and some of the great scenery done by the artists.

The pacing of the film is a bit strange, part of this is due to the fact it's a movie and not a series. Whilst the animation, and the story is truly wonderful. They're some of the most passionate men and women in either industry, and have a considerable cult following.ĭofus - Book I: Julith tells the childhood story of Master Joris Jurgen, the hero of the city of Bonta, it continues off of the Dofus: Treasures of Kerubim animated series and ties in with the Wakfu series special episodes, but does not require any pre-existing knowledge of the franchise to appreciate. Another gorgeously animated work from Ankama, and a wonderful way to kick off their first feature length film! A company of animators and game designers, known mostly for their MMORPGs Dofus and Wakfu.
