The cast of the 2005 TV version, including Ngoc Trai (Quy Rom) and Vu Long (Tieu Long), appeared radiantly, attracting special attention at the film's premiere.

Besides, there are three young actors playing the small version of the Kaleidoscope trio: Hung Anh (Quy), Nhat Linh (Tieu Long), Phuong Duyen (Hanh). They received many compliments from journalists and audiences not only for their natural acting but also for their similarity to the characters in the original work.

Director Vo Thanh Hoa shares about the film.

Sharing about the film, director Vo Thanh Hoa said that it took him three years to find the right direction before deciding to take on the film project "Kaleidoscope".

For him, commercial purposes are not the motivation for making films, but rather the desire for films to become a bridge connecting and healing people of all ages.

“I hope that no matter what generation they belong to, after watching the film, the audience can find beautiful memories of themselves and feel comforted and encouraged,” said director Vo Thanh Hoa.

Producer Mai Bao Ngoc added: “The movie Kaleidoscope is a perfect combination of nostalgia and new vitality, a spiritual gift that we want to send to audiences of all generations and all ages.”

The film also received positive reviews from the audience after its release.

Ms. Hoang An (Ho Chi Minh City), a long-time fan of the series and the TV version of “Kaleidoscope”, commented: “The film retains the spirit of Kaleidoscope, but still has the freshness and appeal to touch the hearts of modern audiences. Around me, many viewers could not hold back their tears at the scenes that evoked childhood memories, and also burst out laughing at the unique pranks of the children.”

Notably, not only those who were attached to the original series or the old TV version, but also young viewers who first learned about the film, found special sympathy and love.

Thien Trang, a young viewer, currently a high school student, said: “I have never read the book or watched the TV version, but the movie made me feel the spirit of youth: brave, attached and devoted to friends.”

Vietnamese stars who were once fans of “Kaleidoscope” now attended the premiere of the film version with their “child versions” in an emotional mood. Singer Thu Thuy, her husband and children were also present at the premiere of the film “Kaleidoscope”. The singer shared: “I used to be a fan of the TV version of the trio Quy - Long - Hanh. Today, watching the film feels very nostalgic, like being young again.” Singer Truong Quynh Anh went to see the film with her son, saying that she really wanted to “experience with him a work that was extremely meaningful to my childhood. I hope the film “Kaleidoscope” will also become a beautiful part of my child’s childhood.”

Actor Van Anh also brought his daughter to the theater to support the film. He said that he “grew up reading the pages of ‘Kaleidoscope’, so I really hope this movie will bring me back to my childhood memories. This is a must-see movie this Christmas season, because it will bring interesting experiences for the whole family.”

Artist Trung Dan emotionally shared: “The countryside scenery at Tieu Long’s house is so beautiful, close and familiar that I feel like I am reliving a distant childhood memory.” The green countryside setting, lively games and festivals are also factors that attract the young audience, making “Kaleidoscope” a must-see movie for multi-generational families at the end of the year.

The movie Kaleidoscope brings an emotional journey that is both familiar and new, making viewers feel like they are returning to their childhood but still eager to discover unexpected variations in the story.
