From the age of 8

Assistant director during Walt Disney’s lifetime – notably on Mary Poppins and The Spy with Velvet Paws – Joseph L. McEveety writes his first Disney film here, and he learned well since he uses the usual Disney recipe. We therefore find a character with an unusual element, a thug whose unusual element will disrupt the plans and a competition on which depends a sum of money making it possible to save an institution from bankruptcy.

What will please them


The Walt Disney Pictures
  • The teenagers who are in solidarity with the hero, who has become a little big-headed by becoming a human computer and who are ready to do anything to help him.
  • Dexter’s incredible abilities, which will make more than one schoolgirl dream, who will then ask themselves: “and if that happened to me, what would happen?” The film questions more generally about artificial intelligence, decades before the ChatGPT brand appeared for the first time!
  • The bad guys are not really worrying and in the end are completely ridiculed because they are covered in paint.

    • What may worry them


    The Walt Disney Pictures

    Absolutely nothing ! The bad guys pull out a gun once or twice but without any real consequences. For the rest, it’s a car chase again quite harmless and that’s about all the risk you’ll find in this film which is above all designed as entertainment for the general public.

    For further
