The Last of the Mohicans

I have enjoyed a lot of Burbank Film Australia's animations. The Last of the Mohicans is not among the best or worst of the studio but does its job well for the target audience. I do think the character designs could have been less crude at times and I didn't care much for Natty Bumpo's appearance or voice, it seemed like a cliché to me. However, if you just ignore the fact that history is literally thrown out of the window here, then it is entertaining fun. The backgrounds are smooth and colourful on the whole, while the music is rousing. The writing is witty with some wisdom and poignancy as well, and the story does well in maintaining interest in such a short running time without feeling rushed. The characterisations are mostly interesting, while the voice work is on the most part solid.

All in all, a fun entry from Burbank's resume, could have been better but does well with what it has. 8/10 Bethany Cox
