While I said before that I was apprehensive about the mythological aspect of this film, those fears went right outside the window when I saw how gorgeous the animation is (also FILIPINO SAPPHICS❗️) That said, here’s a little 🧵 of the mythical creatures I spied in the trailer:

Let’s start with this cutie patootie! There’s actually quite a lot of mythical birds featured in various folktales in the Philippines, but based on its colorful plumage, I’ll take an educated guess and say this is very much the Adarna Bird (aka the Ibong Adarna).
