CAUTION  This page is unofficial. Do not, by any standards, import this page. Boy and the World (Portuguese: O Menino e o Mundo) is a 2013 Brazilian animated adventure film written and directed by Alê Abreu. It was nominated at the 88th Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature (yes, really), and was created using a mix of both drawing and painting and digital animation.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The character designs are terrible and feel absolutely out-of-place for a kids movie. Basically, it looks like 5 years old made the entire film and their fathers put it all together.
 * 2) Terrible animation. It mixes traditional and digital animation, and the end results go within slow, robotic, and cheap, but to hideously too fast. A scene shows a screenshot of Cuca trying to sleep but it spins really fast which can cause motion sickness.
 * 3) No story and no plot. Once Cuca goes to "find his father," the film immediately forgets about it and goes into random events that are never brought up again.
 * 4) Annoying musical scores that are simply composed by people that scream a bunch of nonsense (to be fair, the lyrics they sing are in Brazilian) and the instruments they use are composed awfully.
 * 5) *The film's main instrument is a recorder, and the songs used by it are ear-grating.
 * 6) Nonsensical scenes such as a bird (that...get this...came from a group of people making music) getting destroyed by some army playing trumpets, and there's even a scene that uses blurry live-action footage people cutting trees, which has nothing to do with the film at all.
 * 7) Confusing ending. The old man Cuca meets into the movie is actually an older version of him, but yet, it's never explained how the older Cuca went into Cuca's timeline. And to make things worse, Cuca never finds his father, making the whole movie pointless.
 * 8) Other than the nonsense scenes, the movie is actually very boring, not helping the fact that it has no dialogue.
