It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This film is nice to see with your young kids. Though you may not like it, they probably will. Plop, Klus, Lui and Kwebbel have a simple adventure, regrettably lacking in the characteristic interplay between the characters which has made Plop so enjoyable on TV. The Belgian TV-series has many simple stories (5 minutes per episode), but are always enjoyable by the repeating antics of the characters: Lui (Lazy) finds most things too tiring and sleeps more often than not; Klus (Busy) is a naughty character with many practical jokes unenjoyable for the rest, maintains he is always the best in what he is doing, but rarely is; Kwebbel (Chatter) always talks too much; and Plop is the most down-to-earth character who tells the story. What I missed was Klus doing something but being very bad at it. I was surprised at Lui's behaviour, which was far too active, and Kwebbel did not talk enough. My 5-year old daughter liked it, though (half the people in the theatre were 3-8 or so).

I thought it would be just like all the other Plop movies, but I must say it was very exciting! The plot has been written by a genius writer... Gert Verhulst's brilliant mind gathered in one superb movie! At the end I even had to cry a bit... If you want to see what happens with the dog they found in the last movie and see what happens if Plop and the others do in the human world then you MUST (!) see this timeless classic... The music-lovers (especially violin-lovers) will also enjoy this masterpiece. Plop is played wonderfully. Kwebbel's performance has been better in films a long time ago, but what did you expect? Too bad Samson couldn't join them. My little sister also liked this movie, although she was sometimes afraid of the creepy characters that appeared now and then.
