Plot

The story is mainly about a cyclops and the misadventures of a boy, that takes place in the valley to which the monster lives.

Sinekatalog’s take

A homespun animated fantasy about a boy and a cyclops, made with obvious enthusiasm and limited means. It is rough around the edges, but its playful monster-movie spirit makes it a pleasant curiosity for animation fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
