But what stands out most about this French fantasy adventure is the glee that comes with its inspired moments of comedy, even in the most thrilling of action set pieces. Pil's Adventures has found the perfect sweet spot, mixing the smart execution of 1940s Donald Duck shorts and classic Laurel and Hardy. True laugh-out-loud funny slapstick is a rare thing in animated movies. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails. Expect a bit of rude humor, including a dog urinating, mentions of unicorn poo, and a running joke with adult male characters seen in their underwear.
But everyone is ultimately fine, and the action scenes are exciting and always mixed with jokes.
Stronger violence includes moments of peril and threat, with a character about to be executed, a main character shot with a crossbow bolt, and another falling from a high bridge. Scenes of slapstick action are funny and well crafted. The movie has fantasy and magic, with big beasts and a potentially unsettling transformation sequence in which a man transforms into a "chickat" (part cat, part chicken). She sets out to help the town's prince when she learns of an assassination attempt by the current ruler, Lord Tristan (Terrence Scammel). She's also an orphan who must steal food to eat. The title character, Pil (voiced by Eleanor Noble), is brave, clever, welcoming, and a good leader. Parents need to know that Pil's Adventures is a well-made animated fantasy adventure set in a medieval town.
