The story follows a group of students headed to the cradle of humankind for their school trip, however one student stands out the most - Buhle. With her enthusiasm for fossils she finds herself in a new location and enjoying herself. However she doesn't realize what her friend is going through in order to avoid trouble from the teacher.
This is an 2D animated film that is very detailed. I really enjoyed the look of the film, especially the different characters. It has sort of a comic book vibe to it, which is fun. The story develops in a logical way. It shows how everything is interlinked like how Buhle finds herself in a cave and meets the scientist. The plot is easy to understand and well structured. There are so many good closeups of the characters; the animation is well done and the camera captures all the various points to make it Interesting. I like Buhle's character; she helps highlight the importance of following one's passion - this can be seen at the end of the film when she gets recognition. The story also includes a bit of time traveling to help explain certain parts of the fossils' history. I like the part when the crystal Buhle has activates the "SuperScientists" themselves. I liked the teacher; it was hard to clearly hear her name, but she is really interesting and funny. The teacher also notices that Buhle is missing and is concerned for her safety. In the end she is proud of her.
The film's message is that young children should be able to step out of their comfort zone and discover the world of science. It teaches us about the importance of Fossils and their contribution to understanding mankind.
I give SuperScientists: Origins 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Eunnet C., KIDS FIRST!
