The story follows a group of otherworldly life forms that make up one entity seek to dispel myths and mistruths.
This is a hybrid puppet / animation / live-action web-series where otherworldly forms make up one entity and offer advice to children to dispel myths and mistruths, addressing things such as car culture, wealth, privacy, college, grieving, paying rent, devotion to careers, birthday parties, and ageism.
It's not revolutionary or especially surprising, but it gets to where it needs to go quickly.
The animation is kind of fascinating; it has the texture of stop motion and there's some bits of special effects. The characters speak and move with the smoothness of 21st century animation. They appear as a mish-mash of shapes and colors that make up a face-like creature. Each character has distinctive traits, but there's little progression for any of them. They learn things, but it's primarily to teach the audience. My favorite part is the animation.
The film's message is to never be afraid to ask questions; the thirst for knowledge should never be fully quenched.
I give Evil Lies Adults Tell Children 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. It's silly, imaginative and informative. By Benjamin P., KIDS FIRST!
