Two best friends, Badrol and Lim went to Badrol's village (kampong) where he grew up, with intentions to experience some long-forgotten true Malaysian life in his Grandfather's durian orchard. However their simple holiday trip is cut short by the discovery of a clue that leads them closer to the legend of the mystery house deep in the forest.

Pretty Good
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Despite its unusual adventure, it is sad to mention that Geng: The Adventure Begins (2009) is a mess. Its animation is not that great but it is still acceptable.Unfortunately, what's annoying is that some of the characters are high pitched, terrible at accents or just bad voice acting in general. The mouth movements are also not entirely in sync with the characters' voice, presenting most of the voice casts at their worst. Fortunately, the animated feature is generally much loved by its intended audience. There are indeed some ridiculous moments that are funny and a variety of characters that can be lovable but since there are too much elements, they can be weird or even be a major turn off. In brief, Geng: The Adventure Begins (2009) is an interesting adventure and I did find some of the farm animals adorable but not the supernatural ones. I like how they incorporate animals but this one does feel inferior when compared to some of the older Malaysian animated feature in some aspects.
