Hear we go again.

Once again a bunch of people who want to make a Movie.

Animators, Check.

Voice Talent, Check.

Green lit by a Production Co., Check.

Song Writer, Check.

Original Story, NO.

Story? Story? Story! I've got it. We take to Loin King and re-do it. Lead - Panther not Lion, keep the bird assistant, but make it Female. Change the Hyenas to Snakes (Nobody likes Snakes). Have leader die saving a small helpless life. Lady snake (with vaguely Russian accent), part of the ruling council, take over and tricks the rest of the animals that their home is now unsafe and all must move to a new location that only she knows about. Fringe member of group, who knows something is wrong, is cast out and must find his own way, finds piece and then determines to go back and save the group. Through in a couple of generic songs and you have a movie.

If there is absolutely nothing else to watch it's OK, but beyond that I give it a hard pass.

Negative reviews I've seen so far came from people who said that Koati is a copy paste of The Lion King. Have you ever even watched The Lion King, at all? Those "arguments" that were stated, were off to the point they made me laugh outloud at 5am, won't go any further with that one. Another really bad review (I think that person gave the movie 1 star) was mostly (or even only) because they got so stuck on 'they presented snakes as evil', so.. such small detail deserves 1 star right away for the whole movie..? You people got to be joking.

The plot is fast paced and missing some huge parts, that's the thing I didn't like very much but that's a common thing nowadays when it comes to the film industry.

Characters are great, original, the movie has this very colorful atmosphere, beautiful scenery, classic cartoon style which I love, and.. oh yeah, someone said the movie wasn't funny at all, called it cringe, in my opinion it was funny most of the time, for kids, adults, everybody, depending on the scene.

Don't rely on negative reviews since most of them aren't accurate, give this movie a try, it's worth it, but hey, everyone has a different taste, so that's another thing.

Koati is a wonderful, sweet animated movie that is an enjoyable watch for adults as well as children alike! A lot of good teachable moments - about courage, about compassion , about friendship! Pako is hilarious!! Nachi, xochi and pako, though very different, make an interesting, lovable trio of friends!! Calli is quite entertaining! All characters have been well thought of and well explored!! Loved the graphics!! Its a beautiful movie and the creators did a fantastic job!! Excellent cast!! Highly recommend it!
