The story is about an old man, Uncle Charlie (Tim Hodgin) who is secretly a caretaker of fantastical creatures such as Bigfoot, the Lock Ness Monster and the Abominable Snowman. He takes two young children, a boy (Isaa Robinson-Smith) and a girl (Amber Aviles), along with him on a fantasy adventure.
This storyline is very creative. I love the concept and am glad they brought it to life with the great animation and terrific voice acting. The animation is wonderful. The characters are well developed visually in a cartoon style. The bright colors really make everything stand out. I love the scene in the grandpa's kitchen, the kitchen it is so detailed and I love how they animated the food. My hat's off to Peter Gardner, the writer and director, for creating a fun and imaginative show. Midway through the film, the old man's truck takes flight and everyone ends up in a place where fantasy creatures become real. I like how the creatures relate to the humans, who have treated them with kindness and respect, especially the caretaker who obviously has created a bond with them. The voice-over talent is excellent and well recorded. The background music and sound effects are spot on, especially the ending song.
The messages are: don't judge a book by its cover; be kind to all beings; the world is full of adventures; something's right around the corner.
I give Adventures With The Caretaker 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12. By Kendall B. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
