Super K is a 2011 Indian computer-animated sci-fantasy film made by Indian animation studio Shemaroo Entertainment and directed by Vijay S. Bhanushaili and Smita Maroo. It is one of the many mockbusters of Disney and Pixar movies. This movie is also a mockbuster of Disney's Brave. the movie was released on November 11th, 2011 in india and on June 19th, 2012 in USA .
When American home video distributor Phase 4 Films got the rights to the film in 2012, they decided to rename the film to Kiara the Brave to cash in on the success of Pixar's Brave despite having nothing to do with it whatsoever, besides one of the film's major characters bearing resemblance to Merida from Brave.
Plot
Dreamzone is a special world in the Galaxy, ruled by the kindhearted King Maximus. Unknown to him, his brother Dreadmis/Badmess is plotting to overthrow him. Dreadmis/Badmess creates Super K/ Super Kloud, a boy superhero, using the powers of all the Dreamzonians. But a goof-up causes Super K/ Super Kloud to turn out to be a freak, unable to control his powers, and he is deserted by Dreadmis/Badmess. Dreadmis/Badmess befriends the evil Dr. Ozox, a masked alchemist who has his own sinister plan to take over Dreamzone.
Super K/Super Kloud and his friends come together to protect Dreamzone from the evil clutches of Dreadmess/ Badmess and Dr. Ozox, but at the same time, Super K/Super Kloud has to learn to control his powers.
Why this movie Super, Super, Super, SUPER Sucks
This will only talk about the English version "Kiara the Brave", the bad qualities from the original will be carried in their own perspective.
- To get the bear out of the room, this film is yet another mockbuster of Pixar films, this time, it's a mock buster of Brave.
- Before the movie was distributed in the U.S. and being the mockbuster of Brave in 2012, it shamelessly steals ideas from Disney's Hercules, and DC comic's Superman.
- Just like other rip-off movies/serieses, it is quite forgettable.
- False advertising: The actual film has absolutely nothing to do with Brave whatsoever and Kiara isn't even the main character of the film and is barely even brave (and does not wield a sword in the DVD cover), as that goes to the film's original title, Super K.
- Lazy, yet sickening Maya CGI animation that feels outdated with the body movements (like walking as they're marching or stomping their feet along with weak hand and arm movements) being the worst offender. It's also notably freaky on the people, especially Super K/ Super Kloud, whose wide eyes are always in front of the camera, in fact, what makes this worse is that the film was distributed by Shemaroo, which was actually known for introducing CGI to the East, the character designs look like a extremely ugly China dolls.
- The original Indian posters are just lazy and boring to look as all the characters are all in a white background.
- The character designs are quite ugly and awful in even in CGI standards.
- The film's setting is all over the place, as it features a kingdom, then a cave, and then a "lab". Also it often takes place in a bizarre Solar system conceptualizing the Greek Pantheon myth.
- A forgettable, yet uninteresting story that revolves Dreadmis/Badmess trying to overthrow his brother, King Maximus as he creates Super K/ Super Kloud, who goes to Dreamzone High to cause a lot of trouble.
- It has incredibly bad voice acting same for the Spanish and English Dub especially like Kiara and Super K/Super Kloud are trying to yell in stereos.
- Childish and terribly insulting dialogue such as:
- When Super K/ Super Kloud inspires the kids of the kingdom to fight (Super K/ Super Kloud saying "Let's go and attack!", Kiara tells the kids "Children of the royal cloud and the warrior clouds, line up!" while Super K/ Super Kloud says "No!"), their motto is literally "Kid Power!"
- Badmess saying "This crown should be mine! This throne should be mine! This kingdom should be mine!"
- "Where is my father!"
- "Where is your Super Kloud now!"
- "Remember the formula, what am i, Einstein or something?!"
- It has a ton of several uncreative and lazy character names, most notably "Accidentally" and "Suddenly", while the names "Super K/Super Kloud", Mesmerizer, "Arbit", "Badmess/Dreadmis" are also really ridiculous and silly but who names their kids like this?!
- In some of the scenes, the lighting is inappropriately put in places where it shouldn't.
- Due to being a dub, it has awful lip-syncing that keeps going nowhere.
- Dracula in Dreadmess'/ Badmess' laboratory, serves no purpose to the story.
- The film's characters are forgettable, uninteresting, annoying, rude, and underdeveloped one-dimensional cardboard cutouts, it's even made worse of how bland, unoriginal and stereotypical they are:
- Kiara is a bland annoying mary sue, who does absolutely nothing but just fly and rescuing her father, King Maximus.
- Super K/ Super Kloud is an annoying bland male protagonist who gets dropped out of every class in Dreamzone high for his trouble-makings and the inability to control his powers. His “ready, go!” catchphrase gets very old whenever he uses his powers.
- The Dreamzone high school students are incredibly bland supporting characters.
- Villagers from Dreamzone are very weak when Mesmerizer wants all of them to work together.
- The planets are just talking giant heads who bicker to themselves and are never seen again in later minutes of the film:
- Sun is just a pushy planet leader who thinks that Arbit, Destiny's child, about how hard his identity crisis could take him on his word.
- Mars is an annoying angry fiery brat who has a rivalry with Jupiter and cares about being poweful from his fire powers.
- Speaking of Jupiter, he wants to ensure that he would hurt Mars and his anger, but wants to be the respectful king of planets.
- Saturn is a pathetic liar who believes Destiny predicted Super K/ Super Kloud is a "super dud" and doesn't think that she "can" predict futures.
- Arbit, Destiny's child, is a spoiled brat who thinks that Dreamzone is not gonna be a perfect world towards Sun and the planets, while he bickers towards the planets about his harsh identity crisis and how Super K/ Super Kloud is predicted as a "super dud" by Destiny. He wears 3 clothes that rip-off 9 from his self-titled animated film, Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean, and Harry Potter from the novel series and films of the same name.
- Accidentally and Suddenly, the two lizard henchmen of Badmess are unfunny comic reliefs and rip-offs of Pain and Panic from Disney's Hercules. They go too far as to murder Super K/ Super Kloud as a baby in a pit of acid. But they do help Super Kloud/ Super K and the others to stop Dr Ozox.
- The two headed hydras are also unfunny comic reliefs just like Accidentally and Suddenly as they speak by singing very repetitively, but they ripped off the Hydra from Disney's Hercules. One head sing-talks like a catholic, while one sings-talks like a rapper.
- Mesmerizer is a rip-off of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, who is a useless weak wizard who barely helps stop Dr Ozox and Dreadmis/Badmess.
- Dreadmis/Badmess, one of the movie's antagonists, looks way too similar to Jesus Christ. His goals are generic and rubbish as he wants to overthrow his brother, King Maximus, so that he can be king of the Dreamzone. He at least redeemed himself when Dr Ozox betrays him and helps Super K/ Super Kloud stop him.
- Speaking of Dr. Ozox, he looks like a rejected prototype version of Snoke from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, along with being a rip-off of Saruman and Sauron from Lord of the Rings, and Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter. He betrays Dreadmis/Badmess and is the true main antagonist after all. His transformation into a tentacle monster looks silly, cheesy and unconvincingly cartoonish. His defeat is just a cliched "taken-into-another-dimension" trope. He, with Badmess are very weak villains.
- Super K/ Super Kloud and Kiara are also clear rip-offs of the title character from Disney's Hercules and Merida from Brave respectively.
- Kiara's design also looks way to similar of that of Fiona from Shrek.
- The plot doesn't make any sense at all that attempts to fit the sci-fi mixed in medieval times setting.
- Boring fight scenes like Arbit/ Defender Jack fighting Accidentally and Suddenly, and Super Kloud/ Super K fighting Dr Ozox.
- The "shocking plot twist" of Dreadmis/Badmess being revealed to be Super K's/ Super Kloud's "father" by Suddenly was already spoiled in the first half of the film when he created Super K's/ Super Kloud despite it was meant to have Super K/Super Kloud realize that Badmess/ Dreadmis is his biological father, but this "twist" lazily rips off a similar one straight out from the Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back.
- Forgettable musical score that tries to be kid-friendly such as the ending theme where it looks like the singers (especially the child singers) mistaken Super K’s/Super Kloud’s name as “Super Gay” instead of the word "K".
- One scene involves a singing hydra (yes, really) and one head sings about having "something tastier than dong sauce", which is highly inappropriate for a kid's animated film.
- Weird science elements, especially when the wizard Mesmeriser (and we're not joking about this) brings out a Medieval-themed Laptop just to get the plot to move on.
- There's a scene that rips off the mill sword-fight scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
The Only Redeeming Quality
- The movie is considered to be a "so bad, it's good" vibe.
