Product Description It’s totally the end of the world in Hetalia Axis Powers: Paint it, White! This full-length flick brings all your fave boys together in modern times with one goal: Drop the bro-hammer on some alien invaders!The Pictorians have arrived from deep in space. They also have dangly glow-balls on their heads, which is kinda cool, but still. The freaky aliens are using use their crazy rainbow-beam-thingy to paint everything on Earth the same color: white! See, now the title of the movie makes more sense, right? Anyway, if the Pictorians are to be stopped, the Allied guys and the Axis boys – plus some new characters, too – must set aside their differences, unite against their common foe, and hopefully get together for a sweaty work-out to make sure they’re super-ready to save the world! .com The theatrical feature Paint It, White! (2010) continues the misadventures of the cast of the series Hetalia: Axis Powers (2009). Various countries of the world are portrayed as teenage boys who alternately squabble and try to work together. They need to concentrate on the latter when the Earth is invaded by the Pictons, featureless aliens who resemble simple CG versions of noppera-buo, the faceless ghosts of Japanese folklore. The Pictons generate multicolored tendrils that bleach Technicolor landscapes into empty expanses of white with a few gray lines. Paint It, White! is no sillier than FLCL, but the characters remain unsympathetic one-notes, and the story careens along at an unvarying pace, interrupted by shots of the logo and the characters saying "Hetalia." Director Bob Shirohata and his crew revel in offensive ethnic stereotypes, although the series was cancelled in Japan when Korean protestors complained about the depiction of the Korea character in the manga version. The filmmakers recycle a lot of footage from the TV series, including the singularly tasteless gag of Italy announcing, "I've got a little surprise for you!" and Germany replying, "What is it, another Jew?" The limited-edition DVD includes a green bandana printed with the characters. (Rated TV MA: profanity, cartoon violence, ethnic stereotypes, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

Great condition, mainly critiquing the movie itself for those that are debating it
Great movie, same elements of comedy that just make you die of laughter.BUT! It incorporates old segments from the show (ex. axis training montages, England in Japan where he sees the kappa and stuff, Russia jumping out of a plain, Italy's song for Germany)I don't know if that was like, for commercial break or filler. If it IS just filler, which it probably is, it makes me kind of disappointed as a fan that the creator didn't have to means to put more story and new jokes into it.Favorite part:Aliens are attacking the whole world, but Switzerland's neutrality is so powerful that even they can't go in it hahahahaha. Made me die of laughter

Hetalia is AWESOME :D
I had watched it on Netflix, and would watch it all the time but then it was removed. I was so glad to see this and bought it asap! I'm so glad I did! :DNot to mention it has awesome bonus features (including an AWESOME commentary with the voice actors, and the Japanese intro, to the first premiere in Japan, where the seiyuus of the axis speak about Hetalia!) and now I can watch hetalia anytime I want!!! There were so many funny moments in this movie, that there was very rarely a time I wasn't laughing like a maniac XDI highly recommend it!!!<3

I was worried that I had seen all the "good parts" already during little youtube clips but I can honestly say that I thouroughly enjoyed this. There were still (new) funny parts for me to laugh at. As far as plot goes it's a typical Hetalia piece. Some scenes flow in sequential order like a normal movie but then out of nowhere there will be a "flashback" kind of moment to scenes from Axis Powers dvds, etc. Overall it was definitely worth the price I paid. I've watched it more than once. Hetalia is love. Hetalia is life.

Hetalia
I was searching in vain to get the right gift for my youngest Granddaughter (she is now a pre-teen so gifting can get difficult). Her Father told me she really likes this anime series called Hetalia but I wouldn't know where to find it. I told him I bet it is on Amazon, they have everything and Lo and behold I found it and she was esthetic

Great movie! Loved it!
I thought this was really funny! It was great seeing the guys in a full length movie instead of the show where you see just little 2-3 minute skits of them. In the movie, however, they do put about 7-8 skits in it like they do the show. The skits were pretty funny, but they had nothing to do with the movie and found myself wishing they would just get back to the movie. The movie is just over an hour long and the animation is really good. The plot itself isn't bad. Yeah, its the same old "we gotta save the world from aliens" story, but it isn't done in a cheesy-way and ends very nicely. Not everyone had major parts in the story...Prussia, Romano, Spain, Poland and a couple of others had some quick scenes, but the main heroes of the story are the ones on the dvd cover. Sealand makes an appearance as well towards the end, and he gets a little but more sceen time than the other bit-characters, but it made sense for him to make an appearence the way he does in the story. I love the ending song as well, "Wa Wa World" and am hoping Amazon has it for download some day soon. (Hint hint) : ) Anyways, great movie and a must for any Hetalia fan!

It's a must have for Hetalia fans~!
Seriously! This movie was amazing and I'm so glad I got my hands on it~! Funimation did a great job with dubbing this movie as well. I watched the movie 3 times in one day~! (The English dub, of course. I really love it and it always has me laughing for the longest time.)The DVD quality is great, nothing is damaged and it was shipped right on time!Now, excuse me while I go watch the movie again.

I love Hetalia!
I am a big fan of hetalia and have been for years. This movie was perfect for my hetalia collection. The movie was great and fun just like all the other hetalia series shows. Perfect condition.

Characterization in a nutshell and fantastic intro
This in-character, non-canonical movie is the perfect intro to Hetalia when you only have a few hours or you're showing someone who can't or won't be able to pick up the full series. The movie is interspersed with scenes from the original series, nothing new for fans but still fun. The story is wacky but hilarious.
