Impy's Island (2006)

One of my all time favorites.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It follows the plot line outlined in Max Kruse's books.I agree, there is no moral shown in this movie, it's just a pleasant waste of time. Not a bad thing if you're a fan of dragons or dinosaurs, or anything saurian.I think this film was made in the manner of copyright retention, as it is done with many American franchises. Since the characters are used in a new creation, the owners keep the character's rights for a bunch of years.The movie won't do well in the American market, or any other market that hasn't heard of the Urmel franchise.Still, it's a pleasant movie to watch at a furry/dragon/reptile fan convention room party.

I know this film has been dubbed into English (full disclosure- I voice Ping the penguin). Does anyone have any information regarding a USA or UK or other release? No one tells us actors anything... The script I saw was very funny, and I thought there was a moral that adults could appreciate as well as kids. Maybe there was a difference between the English translation and the original? The film reminded me of the Weinstein Co.'s recent release of Little Red Riding Hood which was under-promoted and under-appreciated, being from a smaller studio (ie- not Pixar or BlueSky)- the visuals I saw were amazing, with some of the best physical humor I've seen in any film, animated or live action. I hope more people get to see it!

I'm not fan of cartoons, but I've had very great times with some animated films such as Cars, Happy feet, Finding nemo etc, but this flick is very bad, the plot has been the worst presented I've ever seen, I had to halt it and watched it another day, really I couldn't stand it. Of course it's a movie for little boys and girls, they could enjoy it because there are nice colourful shots, that's why I graded it 4, but the script is very boring. Most of this genre of movies has a moral, thing that I couldn't find in Urmel Aus dem Eis. Could anybody tell me what kind of message the production wanted to convey with this video? Not a real story, not an interesting plot, not a clear moral. Abstain from watching it, let your kids alone in front of the TV. 2010 I still think that ithis movie was a piece of ...nothing

Hi, this is a animated remake of the classic 60s and 70s German TV Series "Augsburger Puppenkiste".I went with a my kids and a bunch of others (four girls aged seven and two boys aged ten). The seven year olds liked it, mainly because of the slapstick humour. The ten year olds thought it was a bit slow, not enough excitement for them. The cinema was full of little kids though and there was a lot of laughing going on.The characters are true to their original characters. They behave the same way and have the same speech impediments. The storyline is exactly the same as the old one. Nothing new here. The animation was OK, but they weren't trying to do anything special with it, just entertain kids.Worth taking the kids to on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but I wouldn't go if I was an adult.
