Every so often a movie comes along which completely redefines what cinema is. I had been waiting for a 100% computer animated movie for years. What makes this movie absolutely amazing is that it’s a great movie regardless of the animation. The animation just made it totally classic.

For some reason, I just didn’t laugh so much in this one. Most of the best jokes were repeats of Shrek 1. Still, it was entertaining, and I thought the plot was actually more original & interesting than the plot of Shrek 1.
A great movie – very clever. Don’t worry if you’re not a kid – you’ll still laugh when Shrek farts in the mud… and laughing is what it’s all about isn’t it?
An animated mouse drama. There’s something that I really liked about this movie. It was almost like an epic or something.
Urban sprawl is eating the soul of this nation, and this movie is telling kids it’s all OK – we can just co-exist. Ya, well what about the roadkill, and pesticides, and that scourge of suburbia – the completely antiseptic, unnatural and dead “green lawn” (I could go on and on about how I hate the concept of lawns). This movie would have been much better as a full-on tradgedy.
Now HERE’s a Christmas movie. Tim Burton during one of his finer moments. Or, is this a Halloween movie..? Anyway, it was completely unique and imaginative. Sort of like “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer” meets… um… well, Tim Burton I guess.
All in all, it was a decent movie. It probably disney-fied an otherwise classic fable (forever destroying the original), but that’s what disney does!
A fun premise, great animation & all… but there was something missing that left it short of the benchmark set by Pixar’s earlier films. I think it’s a simple matter that the jokes just weren’t as clever… or maybe the timing was a little off… I mean there was so much potential that I expected to be blown-away. Still, it was a fun movie & entertaining & worth a view.
Disney promoting dictatorships again… or well, “Monarchies”, but whatever. What are we teaching our kids? Hey Ariel – who died and made YOU princess?
Did you ever wonder why Disney makes so many movies that promote dictatorships? Simba? Who voted for THAT asshole? No wonder the other lions had a revolution – Power to the Pride!
After seeing “the last days of disco”, I could not possibly attempt a clever review of this. Go see “the last days of disco” for a proper treatment of this movie.
A very interesting film (loved the animation) – a very imaginative story.
Truly, why does reality have to be so dull?
Felt pretty formulaic, not as creative as I’d hoped. I can see a bunch of writers sitting around a table saying stuff like, “what’s funny when it’s cold?”, and somebody pipes up, “snowball fights”, another voice says, “getting your tongue frozen to the ice”, etc. Of course, I did really like the whole bit with the squirrel-thing who was trying to hide the nut though!
Glorious in every respect.
