Mematao (Animonsta Studios via IMDB)

JAKARTA - The prequel for the animated film BoBo Totaling, Mechamato Movie has finally been shown in Indonesian cinemas, starting March 1, 2023. Previously, Mechamato himself had been made in the form of a series that had been running for two seasons and was first aired in 2021.

In Indonesia, the Mematao The Animated Series is available on the Netflix streaming service with one season consisting of 13 episodes.

Just like the series, Mechamato Movie follows the adventures of BoBo fire's father, Amato, along with his red power sphere robot named MechaBot. The name Mechamato itself is a combination name between MechaBot and Amato.

Compared to the serial version, the film Mechamato drew events at the beginning of the meeting with MechaBot until they finally formed a one-sature bond. Amato first met MechaBot when he found a spacecraft that crashed to earth.

Unexpectedly, Amato and MechaBot were chased by a large robot who did not accept it because they had been attacked even though they were accidentally. At first, the relationship between Amato and MechaBot did not go smoothly, both of them held high enough prestige. But that's where the friendship bond began and Amato managed to become a "master" of MechaBot.

Over time, Amato and MechaBot have become friends with each other. MechaBot has the privilege and ability to change any item, even if it's just a broom or bicycle, into a robot weapon or high-tech device. This also makes Amato amazed by the existence of MechaBot.

Even though MechaBot has an advantage, it doesn't mean that Amato can depend his entire life on the robot. In fact, the position of Amato as the "man" who controls MechaBot has encouraged him to think creatively with a spontaneous window, so that in a precarious situation they can beat any opponent as tough as that, by utilizing objects around that seem simple.

On the other hand, Amato did not realize that the threat had been eyeing MechaBot from the start. The robot is being hunted by a cybermatic alien named General Grakakus, who wants to collect power sphere robots for the purpose of increasing or increasing his power and power in the robotic world.

General Grakakus is not an opponent comparable to MechaBot, regardless of this robot being privileged, let alone not an opponent who is balanced with Amato. During the fight against General Grakakus, it was discovered that this red robot kept trauma because of MechaBot's "man" who had previously been beaten by the robot rulers.

At the same time, in the midst of efforts to defeat General Grakakus, Amato began to find out the facts behind his silat teacher, namely Tok Sah and Pak Aman, who are the father of his best friend, Pian, and Mayor Andy. These three adult characters will also play a key role in helping Amato and MechaBot to beat General Grakakus.

In the midst of the conflict's interests, Mechamato Movie still offers a touch of annoying comedy and makes whoever the audience is laughing, from the dialogue between its characters to the behavior of Amato, MechaBot, and other characters. This comedy is right to be pinned, especially since Mechamato Movie is targeting children's audiences.

Quoted from ANTARA, Thursday, March 2, the film Mechamato is presented with a light story, which although the flow is easy to guess, this show is still entertaining and fun, just like the animated films for the family and other children segments. Plus the characters that appear are quite diverse and each of them has uniqueness and live more.

Although the film Mechamato is part of the big family of the BoBoek franchise, viewers who have never participated in the series and their predecessor films can still enjoy the story without having to be confused about the background of the characters and the flow. However, the existence of a post credit scene that is displayed at the end of Mechamato will certainly satisfy the hearts of fans.

Like most other animated films, Mechamato still inserts the values and messages that can be picked for children, especially teaching children about the importance of having a sense of responsibility for themselves and what they already have and concern for helping and helping fellow human beings.

The advantage of the three-dimensional animated effect is unquestionable. Just like its predecessor, including the series and film BoBoaturo Movie offers a soft animation display that spoils the eyes. Equally important, this advantage is even more promising with a combination of energyful action scenes that will certainly be popular with children's audiences.

It can be said, the film Mechamato is also no less great when compared to animation made in a studio from American or European countries. This Malaysian film is produced by Animonsta Studios and distributed by Astro Shaw.

In Indonesian cinemas, Mechamato Movie is available in the original introductory language, namely Malaysia. Even so, Indonesian subtitles are still displayed. This film deserves to be included in the wishlist watch list for families and children, especially when it can fill the joy of holidays or weekends.
