Jumbo (2025)

I seriously didn’t expect someone as random as Mas Ryan from Malam Minggu Miko to make an animation this cool! Absolutely amazinggggggggggg. The visuals are insanely good—almost Disney-level. The story is also solid; it’s not overly childish, yet it’s packed with lessons and meaningful morals for both young viewers and adults. The scoring is beautiful too, especially the song “Selalu Ada di Nadimu.” It hits me right in the feels. Of course, there are flaws. Some of the voice actors’ pronunciations still don’t sync perfectly with the characters’ mouth movements, a few story beats move a bit too fast from one point to another, and the villain’s background feels a bit shallow. But honestly, from my subjective point of view, all of that is forgivable—because I’m still in disbelief that, with the current state of our film industry, we’ve managed to produce an animated film this amazing and this JUMBO-level wow. For Indonesia’s standards right now, it’s incredibly well-made. I’m genuinely moved—still can’t believe it. This film will stand as one of the milestones in Indonesian cinema, daring to break free from the same old genres we keep relying on. Hopefully, we can create even better animated films in the future.
