Dayo (Sa Mundo Ng Elementalia)
(Writing this at Burger King, Glorietta...)My second Metro Manila Film Festival (MMMFF) entry is Dayo (Sa Mundo Ng Elementalia), an adventure, Philippine animation movie.
The opening scene (wherein credits are presented) has a feel of a foreign animation film. What I like most about it is the features of the characters are Pinoy na Pinoy. Filipino folk songs and children songs were used, and the movie's theme sang by Ms. Lea Salonga has a Pinoy beat. Pinoy humor is also injected. Kudos to Filipino talents!
The film is an adventure of an 11-year old boy, Bubuy, who tries to save his grandparents who were abducted and brought to Elementalia. Bubuy befriends a manananggal and a tikbalang, who helped him save his grandparents.
(Writing this portion at home...)
Attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at a Venetto Italliano Ristorante.
As promised to our housemates, brought them at Greenhills Shopping Center to watch the Christmas story portrayed by "big dolls"... (Hehehe!)
Before, this was the yearly Christmas display of COD. It, then, transferred to Greenhills Shopping Center. There was night market, which we tried to do some (window) shopping. Afterwhich, ate at Chowking.
We, then, proceeded to Policarpio Street in Mandaluyong. This street was often featured in different TV shows for the Christmas theme. The houses along this street decorate their house lavishly. Unfortunately, the (decor) lights were often turned-off around 10PM. Good thing, we were able to see one of the houses still alit--The House of Santa.
