American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
虽说是神话色彩的动画，但处处是对现实的讽刺
20分鐘的剧情，硬生生用长镜头空镜头填充出92分钟；
不知道为什么这部评价这么高……而我小时候竟然没看过……不过总的来说还是挺有乐趣的，尤其是后半部分哈~
纵观中国动画电影史，这部片子在当今仍不过时，它有着匠心的画面与人物设计，有趣且奇幻的故事内容，真正达到了中国动画电影追求的「奇、趣、美」。
这个贼太傻了，我感觉无数次都可以砸倒这个贼，但是没做，最后还搭上了园丁的命
以后再也不会有这样的国产动画了。官方，不管是人间还是仙界，都混蛋。百姓可爱，但又愚昧。依靠反思的仙人和蛋解救世界的幻想。
普羅米修斯盜火種式的故事，包裹在充滿東方美學的京劇美術中，毫無違和感。只可惜現在拍不出來過不了審，最起碼寺廟的那段戲，就會被佛教協會叨逼叨。
這一中國版普羅米修斯的故事，也可以說是個“沒有意義的”普羅米修斯的故事。“天書”之下凡並未給世間帶來任何好處：掌握天書的蛋生利用知識所做的唯一好事就是變出聚寶盆，幫村民們討回被奪走的財產，而如果沒有這天書，這些財產也不至被奪去。權力鏈條的結構消解了天書的意義，或者說天書的可能作用同官僚主義的、魑魅魍魎的世間發生了資源的錯配，以這樣的角度觀之，影片對於現實問題的指涉力度和思想史意義，可能均在其淺薄、低齡化的表象之上。4K修復版重映，2021年11月9日20:10於CGV北京路5號廳。
杰西普莱蒙越来越比马特达蒙强大。不要剥夺女人的自信心，要听她说话，要把她放在眼里心里，不然就是几枪、几下板，终结一切，走自己的路。
#大银幕重看 故事到后面没有讲得很好，但是确实很美，加长的纪录片有心了。
2021年去大银幕重温了，看到了成人世界的无奈和压抑。动画果然是成人浇自己胸中块垒之作啊。美术和音乐绝赞。
珍奇的天书被锁在天庭石门之内，分明“天道无私，流传后世”，却被高束庋藏，不欲人知。
看吧，看暴富的硅谷精英演示如何拿腔捏调、如何自掘坟墓吧。结局平淡无新意，太现实，太嘲讽。这帮傻小子，作个什么劲？好好的日子不过。这是一部制作很认真的冷幽默电影。
莉莉夫妻档作品。在相对来说的小空间里，拍摄和剪辑都比较慢，故事本身的吸引性也不够，最后堆的高潮10分钟也没什么用。我不太理解人物突然的动机，显得有些无聊吧
这动画片就是奇谈，做得多么好，足够叫现在的人汗颜啦，太可爱了！
沉香救母的最初映像，下部等了N年出来了，却没有当时的热情了
Marshall多少年不接个片，好不容易接一个，女主角竟然还叫Lily，真是感人肺腑。(看过HIMYM得自然懂)
若穿越到现在，像本片大量充斥着“靠蛋生就天赋异禀的死肥仔、又黄又暴力的狐狸精小组、道貌岸然财迷心窍的花和尚、大搞封建迷信的保皇党、欺压百姓祸害人间的朝廷。。。”这些内容的动画片，找逛店总急跟你们丫急呢吧！
那个狐狸我印象一直很深。。觉得她长的很像某个幼儿园阿姨。。
中國的動畫片還是很多精品的！只要別東施效顰學外國玩3D就好了~
