I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is a nice animation set in a fantastic world where people of the sun and the people of the rain are in a constant battle, while the victory of one side or the other is only determined by the seasons. Sun people die when touched by water and rain people turn to stone in the strong light of the sun.Nice premise, but from there on it just goes down. The plot is predictable, the animation (French style animation), is pretty sketchy and unsynchronized, the ending is more "epic" than the end of the Matrix and in the end you just see how the rain people are so completely non violent, how the sun people are also good but mislead and all the fault (and I mean THE ENTIRE FAULT) is the bad guy's. Can you guess how he ends up?If I look at this animation movie as a whole, compared to other animation films, it falls between good Japanese animes and Disney productions, but if I compare the ending to the beginning, I automatically grimace.I can't believe I am only the second guy to comment on this...

'Les enfants de la pluie' is very predictable (for a person with at least some experience in reading sci-fi it is easy to guess how the plot will develop and how it all will end). At the same time I liked the drawings, the style of cartoonists. As compared with, say, 'Les maitres du temps' it is regrettably less gripping, but it makes a bit more sense in the long run.
