Underwhelming
They were showing this cheap at a cinema in the city.
I'd never heard of it, but I was spending the day with my 6 yr old, and thought it would be a good way to entertain him for a while, as he loves all things animation.
I think we've all been spoiled with the high quality of most animated kids movies - they usually have a good plot, and there are enough subtle "adult" gags and stuff to keep parents amused.
Not so with this one.
The animation was fine, but the writing, plot and dialogue were just daft, and often didn't make a lot of sense. At less than an hour and a half, it is a relatively short film, but I was glancing at my watch most of the way through, wishing it was over.
My son enjoyed it ok, so that's the main thing I supposed. I would have been annoyed if I'd paid full price for us to watch.
Little kids might enjoy if it comes on a screening service.
Grown ups - avoid.
