Huevos: Little Rooster's Egg-Cellent Adventure (2015)

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Toto, a young chick born the run of the litter, rises to the occasion when a rancher threatens his home and his family. Although it gets a little bit immature at times with sexual hints and even hints on drugs at some point Un gallo con muchos huevos is by no means a Masterpiece or the greatest animation of all time it has weird humor at times and even way too many references to Terminator, Rocky, Star Wars and more but somehow it does work it reminded me a lot of Rocky IV for some reason to be honest i expected to hate it a bit but the ending really saved the film for me especially the fight was very good and i was really impressed i'll give it a 7/10.

Obviously is intended for Spanish speaking markets (and specially Mexican, since it has a lot of double meaning expressions). I thoroughly enjoyed it, and once the DVD/BlueRay is out, I'll get it. It is hard to translate since 'eggs' (which is pretty much the title of the movie: a rooster with many eggs, the correct translation would be a rooster with many balls - where balls stand for testicles) is just a double meaning word... Many of the situations and expressions are very well used, but as I mentioned above, it is for the Mexican audience, I doubt the rest of Spanish speaking countries will understand the secret expressions. Even without understanding them, the story is OK and the animation is excellent. It is a pity that studio shut down after the termination of the movie.

Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos ("a rooster with many eggs") opened in three-hundred and ninety-five theaters over the 2015 Labor Day weekend, making it the largest theater-count for a Mexican-animated film in America. If this film winds up experiencing a strong opening weekend, say $3 - 5 million or more, it could be a turning point for Spanish cinema in America. For years, I've wondered why Bollywood films are constantly appearing in American theaters and so seldom do we see a Spanish-speaking film in theaters, when Latinos are the most prominent and fastest growing minority in the United States.Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos is not an amazingly strong film, but it's certainly not a bad kickoff for what could be more Spanish-speaking animated films finding a wider, more consistent release in US theaters. The film is another installment in the long-running Huevocartoon Producciones series, a formerly 2D animated film company, which has churned out animated films with lovable characters and slapstick humor for many years. This is the turning point for the company not only because this is the first time one of the films sees a wider release in America, but because the animation style of the series has been upgraded to CGI, giving the characters a more distinctive look than their traditionally animated counterparts. Finally, the screenwriters of the film took a different approach to writing the characters and the film than they have in the past, slightly forgoing the slapstick humor to make the film a bit more racier in its humor (hence the PG-13 rating), and toying with the fun of innuendos and double-entendres.All these stakes would make one question if the film would collapse under the weight of its greater scope and ambition, but the film works well enough to see that this is the case where everybody, the director, the writers, and the voice actors, seems to be having a good time acting goofy. The film revolves around a timid little rooster named Toto (voiced by Bruno Bichir), who is tasked with the challenge of fighting an evil rancher, who threatens to buy and destroy his family's farm, which has been passed down through generations. In order to keep the farm, Toto must fight Bankivoide (Sergio Sendel), an enormous rooster, in a cockfight with winner-take-all stakes. Already feeling himself crumble under pressure, Toto enlists in the help of his pals, a strip of bacon, a frog, and, yes, muchos huevos, to help him bring down Banki and save his family's farm.As stated, much of the film is built of innuendos and slightly more risqué humor than your traditional animated feature (even the title can be interpreted two ways). I have no doubt that some of the best jokes get lost in the English translation, but the the strength of screenwriters Carlos Zepeda and Javier Calderón comes in the way they can break down those barriers and make a film that has a solid amount of jokes that hit regardless of what language the film is in. With that, the characters, while on the zanier, more ridiculous side, find their own ways to charm, particularly a petulant but well-meaning frog, who helps earn the film some of its biggest laughs.Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos is charming enough for a family outing; much of its humor is on the milder side and the bright colors and lively characters likely will distract from any racier jokes the film is attempting to get away with. This is on the more popcorn-entertainment side of the spectrum, lacking the narrative heft and longevity most animated films can merit, but the result is endearing, sweet, and surprisingly innocent little outing that could find itself being a pioneer for Spanish cinema in America.Voiced by: Bruno Bichir, Sergio Sendel, Maite Perroni, Omar Chaparro, Ninel Conde, and Carlos Espejel. Directed by: Gabriel Riva Palacio Alatriste.

In the description you will see this movie has strong sexual context and that is true. Although I thought this was a funny and very entertaining movie, I would have enjoyed it more had my 13yr old not been with me, why? Because there are a lot of strong sexual references. This movie reminds me of the one family member we all don't want around because of how verbally sexual he/she is. Anyway, just be aware when taking your children, I would say do not take children 6 to 15, as it can be rather embarrassing for you if you are not open to this type of communication with your child. A child 5 yr old and under will most likely not understand but the 16 and above have probably heard worst. Enjoy!!!
