Upin Ipin Jeng Jeng Jeng Movie Review

My children and I watched Upin Ipin Jeng Jeng Jeng together with other bloggers and media on 23 November 2016. This movie had the support of Malaysia Economy Digital Corporation (MDEC), Telekom Malaysia (TM) and PT Mega Pharmaniaga.

The movie is about an orphan named Balqis who loves Upin Ipin. She loves to wear Upin Ipin T-shirt, uses Upin Ipin toothpaste, has lots of Upin Ipin books and toys. One day, she over heard the conversation between Zaman and Noreen about Zaman wanting to claim back his land where the orphanage is built. Balqis therefore asked Upin Ipin for help and they really appeared in front of her. Balqis is the only person who can see and talk with Upin Ipin. At the same time, Awie, a rock star singer faces shortage of money because he was not popular anymore. He bumped into Balqis and decided to help her and all the other orphans. To cut the story short, they managed to hold a concert where Upin Ipin really appeared and sang Jeng Jeng Jeng song with Awie. They managed to raise enough funds to let Zaman pay his debt and Zaman agreed to let the orphans stay there instead of chasing them out.

The directors of this movie is Erma Fatimah and Hajah Ainon. The stars of the movie are Asyiela Puteri (Upin Ipin), Puteri Balqis, Awie, Sara Ali, Gambit Saifullah and Remy Ishak. The total production cost of the film is RM 4 million and part of the cost was sponsored by Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Nasional Malaysia (FINAS) under Danas Kesan Khas (CGI). The duration of the movie is 98 minits.

This is the first Malaysia movie which has the combination of 3D animation and real people. The song Jeng Jeng Jeng was by Yubi Band together with Upin Ipin (Asyiela Puteri).

I really liked this movie because it's an emotional movie where it lets us learn to help the underprivileged children. Balqis was very good in acting and Upin Ipin characters were very cute. There was some sad scenes and some very funny scenes. Overall, this is a good movie I would recommend all to watch. My children enjoyed watching this movie.
