This is a low-budget movie that tells a good story. It is not a perfect film but I found it entertaining and the main actors capable and likable. The reviews and scores here seem to suggest it is either awful or fantastic. Animator is a good, solid film that entertained me.

This is a film with a topic that could ve been a chigagian blockbuster, if done the right way. when i saw this film i felt like sitting in a plane before take of, and the time runs by , and no engine starts, the seat gets hotter and hotter, and after an hour or so, the captain informs that the flight has been canceled due to technical errors ..... and what do i mean by that, well its a film that never takes off, and then i mean dead stop.
its a comedy for sure, but ive seen better amateur films than this.... and it didnt make me laugh. the male lead is quite likeable and seems quite good at his act, but this film are just not what an icvecold grumpy old man from icecold norway laugh about , not even drunk. its a fumbling try, and could barely be be recommended for jazzlovers due to the score.

This movie had such a good plot and story until one part. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it but it could've went a different way that could've been more logical. I get the shock factor and the whole bringing out emotion. Well you did that but I just wanted to turn it off halfway through. I did watch it until the end and was even more upset that I didn't turn it off when I wanted to.

If you think watching this movie on the Flix, and if after 3 minutes in the movie your gut is telling you no-way, find another movie on Flix. I did not, and watched it for 20 minutes. If you think to rent it, don't waste your money on this one.
I think we need a kind of money-back guarantee if one is leaving a movie in the first 15 minutes, at the cinema's and online movie rental-shops.

No Fun
It doesn't deliver what it promises.
The discerption says he draws the future. It shows flying cars on the box. Tubi tags it: Drama, Thriller, Sci-Fi. Sounds like fun so I watched it.
But it had none of that. The opening titles had slow boring music. And a young kid DIES of a sickness in the first 2 minutes. NO FUN. No sign of anything special for 25 minutes. No thrills, not sci-fi, (supernatural magic instead). No flying cars. Just glowing hands. We don't even get to see the magic happen. He just draws the finished result and it's done.
This film should have been a book, or a comic, not a film.

Happened upon this movie while scrolling through T*bi, never heard of it before, the brief description sounded good so I started to watch. As with every movie I watch, I logged onto this site to see what the score was. Shocked to see the low score so much so I was going to turn it off, scores that low can't be good. I'm glad I didn't turn it off. I found the movie funny, charming, sad and very sweet: story of a man who is given an incredible, life changing gift. Will he make the right choices with it? I won't go too deep into the story because I don't want to spoil it but the film was touching, the lead actors played well off each other and gave really good performances; the animation of the history of the gift was stunning, colors were amazing. If I could give a recommendation it would be to ignore the scores and watch the film. It really isn't as bad as the reviewers on here are making it out to be.
This film is a rarity indeed. Over 90percent of the films with black leads are typically cliche (dysfunction, drugs, guns, agenda based). This film actually has a unique story line, and is definitely worth the watch. I don't understand how or who the people are who came in drives to pan such a great film....ignore them and check it out for yourself...you will not be disappointed.

This is a film about a man who has a lot of growing up to do. He is a self centered, short sighted, materialistic person who is given a gift of immense power. And he has very little understanding of how to use this gift in a way that will be of benefit to anyone, including himself. As we observe him use his gift over and over again, we see that this is largely because his understanding of life is deeply lacking. The things he seems to value quickly turn out to have negative consequences that he did not foresee. In real life, learning this lesson is what marks the transition from adolescence to adulthood. In this film, well you will have to decide this for yourself.

I honestly didn't think I'd like it, but i decided to watch it anyway. Obviously, I'm glad i did because I'm here writing my first review because of it. It's funny, emotionally compelling, & left me with the same sense of satisfaction i have after reading a good book- which is rare, because a movies impression usually fades shortly after the closing scene.

I am reviewing this as it is really worthy of a review - for its great writing, the great acting involved, and the direction. It is hones, heartfelt and just such a breath of fresh air in a world full of movies trying to grab your attention with shock and awe. This delivers with subtlety and gentle passion - and it is clearly a team effort.
I am finding that streaming services offer a very male/action/death and destruction formula, or brash comedy etc., so finding a story with care and compassion, and which still has sadness and comedy, is great. So if you have not seen this yet - please do! You will not regret it.

Yeah sure it is a little slow for some but honestly the acting, plot, characters, and message were all above the low expectations I had when I saw the IMDb score. Well worth watching in Amazon prime for free!

What a fun and engaging film. Animator has a little bit of everything: romance, comedy, drama, magic..., and never a dull moment. This is an intelligent, well-polished film that I am sure I will end up revisiting periodically. All who were a part of Animator's production should be very happy with the end result. Animator delivers the goods -

ANIMATOR movie is a must watch.The film is very unique with the animation adding to the creative story line. It takes you through a journey of self indulges with a chilling ending that makes your realize the importance of the power to give.
A must see film, acting was excellent Levenix Riddle the lead did a great job
This film is an intoxicating blend of African mysticism, magic, power, materialism, friendship and love. And it all takes place in a good looking, prosperous African American community. Bravo.
