There’s something special about _Pompo: The Cinephile_ that just speaks to you. Yes, the animation is stunning and you absolutely adore every character in the film. Martin Braddock’s pickup line about wanting to network socially is hilarious and Mystia is an incredible character; a talented actress that doesn’t let her success go to her head. But the animated film also speaks to both film and art lovers alike. Showing what was discarded in pursuit of your dreams is important to making a life changing film. Pompo’s sweet spot for a fully completed film is 90-minutes and _Pompo: The Cinephile_ ends maybe thirty seconds after that. This makes you feel good and creative at the same time and is exceptional because of it. **Full review:** https://hubpages.com/entertainment/Pompo-The-Cinephile-2022-Review-Tasting-a-Masterpiece

I can't stress enough of how much I loved this wonderful piece of cinema here, when I first got the Blu-ray copy of this, I have a feeling this film was already gonna be a blast from start to finish. But I started to watch the first five minutes of the film, I instantly fell in love with the film. And by the time it's over, it has already became one of my favorite movies ever made. I still continue to rewatch it to this day, I still quote line for line for this, If I wanted to be inspired to make a film, I put on this film for me to enjoy. I love the characters, I love the humor and messages, I love this film.
