Knight Rusty

Hello Welcome to my final review for Kids Tiff international film festival. All these movies played at the Tiff Bell Lightbox (April 8 to 21). Anyway let us start. By the way if I credit the wrong people for voicing the characters I am sorry (the copy I got was dubbed but on IMDB all the character names were in German).

This movie takes place in a world of scrap metal robots; we meet our main character Rusty (Rick Havanan). He lives with a dragon named Coal  (Dustin Semmelrogge) and a human named Bo (Carolin Kebekus). Rusty dreams of being a big shot knight. But his horse's engine breaks down so he "borrows" a cog from Bo's sewing machine. Now here is one of the problems with this movie, Rusty only cares  about himself. Anyway Rusty accidently breaks the engine. So he buys an engine from a man named Honest Bob. He wins the tournament but it turns out that the engine was stolen from Prince Nobel (Christoph Maria Herbst). So The king deknights (is that a word?) Rusty.

Rusty loses his castle and Bo leaves him. Bo goes to live with Prince Nobel and she likes it there. But Rusty is on the road. The next day Rusty finds Honest Bob and takes the sewing machine from him and the police arrest Honest Bob. So Rusty gives the sewing machine back to Bo but he breaks it again. Bo get's angry at him so he goes to the king. The king tells him that if he brings back a dragons head he will be a knight again. So Rusty realizes that Coal is a dragon and decides to chop his head off. He wants to decapitate his only friend?! No no no no I am out of here.

ONE HOUR LATER

So (fortunately) he decides not to decapitate Coal and instead goes to a cave where a dragon hangs out. They make it to the cave and ride on a mine cart to the dragons lair. Meanwhile Bo finds out that Prince Nobel wants to destroy all the scrap in Scapland and replace it with new stuff and of course marry Bo. You know because that's what all evil princes do. So Rusty gets the dragons head but the head is still alive. You Know Because it's a kids film. Bo escapes through a secret passageway full of other princesses that Prince Nobel used to love. Rusty shows the king the dragons head but it is too late Prince Nobel takes over the kingdom.



          ***SPOILER ALERT STOP HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT THE END RUINED***


It looks like it is all over and Prince Nobel is about to marry Bo. But Rusty realizes he has friends. Wait no he doesn't. He  ruined and than sold Bo's prize possession and tried to decapitate Coal. Why does he have friends? Oh forget it let's just get to the end.
So they have a battle and the former princesses beat the guards up with frying pans and rolling pins (oh you have to be kidding me). So we have a final battle the pince is defeated and everyone lives happily ever after. The End.

                                          ***SPOILERS OVER KEEP READING***


This is the only TIFF movie (that I have seen) that I didn't like. All the characters are annoying, stereotypes, or annoying stereotypes. Throughout the whole movie Rusty only thinks about himself. Also the rules of the world they live in are very inconsistent. For example everyonething is either robot or half robot. But Bo and the other princesses are human and the sewing machine is just a normal sewing machine. Also, why do they keep calling Bo "damsel" throughout the whole movie? And the whole rejected Princesses with their rolling pin revenge? It is so sexist. The animation is nice I guess it's not on quality of say Pixar Animation Studios but it had it's own style and pizzazz. Overall I think I could of reviewed a much better movie. It has been fun being a reviewer for TIFF. See you next time.
