Moviecut—The Sky Princess

The poor quality and animation show how small the budget was for this "movie" i am traumatized. Almost every thing has a face and that s**t aint pretty. Spare yourself don't watch it.

Looking past the awful/uncanny animation, voice acting that's not the best and bits of unexcused logical disbelief, it's got a pretty decent story. Sensing many will be scared off from the start, the intro (Undoubtable the creepiest of the animation) tells the story of the Sun's Moon wife being jealous of the her love he shares among the planets(I presume the children) and holds a grudge with the land being split. The Sun has a village where the people work tirelessly(despite people apparently being able to sleep later on) and all is fine however, in the Moon Territory(Bigger in regards to name, guess the Sun was being generous) there's no Sun for plants to grow so the moon presumably robbed the Sun village of much of its animals and riches and gave it to her people to appease them. The story then centers on an (Presumably African) girl who, instead of shopping like some goading girls, she mostly looks after her siblings; She envied the girls' possessions deemed of more value compared to hers; Despite her father's effort to teach her what's with purpose is far more valuable, she doesn't quite understand, sitting in the chair made for the moon princess. This will summon an owl man who claims she's a Princess now and may go to the moon land and liken to its riches. Warning she won't be able to see her family but could return whenever she's ready. The girl will be taken to the Moon lands and enjoy a life of privilege but be bother by the peoples contempt for those poorer than them; Heartbroken by her parents bereft in her absence, she'll wish to go home. The owlman will instead take her to his dwell with his other wife where she can survive escape(this bit will explain why there are anthromophic/half humans through the wife). With the help of some trees established to be friends of the girls father, they'll end the Owlman and escape. I was surprised this has quite a decent story(There's also a second bit about a love affair but nevermind that) I typically don't stick around for "Money has no value" and other variations like that but in the sense that money is presented and the presentation itself, I dared myself to watch through and am pleased the story wasn't as broken as the animation(Though it does have its, as one's say, cringe bits which I found whimsical at times.) And there are some pretty descent song which, unlike usual fantasy songs, didn't bother me much. Like the main girl, I too can grasp the moral now.
