- Quotes
Cecil: Not very in my book. Which is precisely, why we should accept Budzo's proposal.
Marabous: Since when a Marabou servants to a lizard?
Morton: He's got a point!
Cecil: We will be working with Budzo, thickhead, not FOR Budzo! We are partners in this great endeavour!
Morton: Teamwork!
Cecil: We help Budzo get on the island, we share all the goodies!
[Cecil Laughs, so does Morton]
Morton: I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
[Gets slapped by Cecil]
Marabous: Ummm, question! Could those hurricanes be a problem?
Cecil: Hurricanes, huh!
[Making a trifling gesture]
Morton: Don't make him laugh!
Cecil: Budzo possesses unrivaled brut strength. With his help a new wind will blow across this valley.
[Morton pretends that there is a heavy wind]
Cecil: A wind of change-uh!
[Slaps Morton]
Marabous: I say, good shot! Give us another!
[Gets slapped by the Marabou next to him]
Leonard Nimoy, Samuel L & Jeff Godblum created believable characters, but the Ezee character came over as a bit of a cliché. The animation was done well and could easily rival a movie like Rio.
This is miles better than the previous animated attempts from South Africa, but unfortunately its very difficult to create an animated blockbuster if you don't have the budget of a Sony, Pixar, Dreamworks or Disney.
Pleasant hour and a bit overall.
