Animation artist (Piotr Polak) is struggling to find a new idea for his publisher (Helena Englert) after she rejected his latest idea around a cheeky and curious green dinosaur called “Diplo”. Oh well, back to the drawing board he thinks and begins to erase his work. Thing is, in the magical world he had already created the effects of his rubber on the paper is causing havoc, and forces the terrified young beastie to run for its life. Fortunately, the artist is frequently distracted from his destructive spree, and that allows “Diplo” to make some friends who might be able to bridge the gap between their world and the real one and stop the man before the whiteout of their colourful landscapes becomes complete. Aside from the fact that this might just encourage kids to pick up a pencil or a crayon and actually have a go at drawing without the aid of technology, this is quite a fun adventure story with the occasional live action scenarios nicely intertwined with an engaging style of animated characterisation and plenty of comedy shenanigans. It takes a slightly more human look at the done-to-death concept of a multiverse and is helped along by a very slightly evil magician; a slightly menacingly great pink cat and who doesn’t like a movie about green dinosaurs living behind the safety of a wall made out of an even bigger dinosaur’s jawbone? It’s creative, imaginative and really quite enjoyable - though maybe not for the tots.Show less
