I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but my daughter was apparently eager to check it out so we ended up watching the damned thing yesterday. Basically, ever since ‘Toy Story’ was released 20 years ago (damned… I feel so old now…), virtually every single studio has been trying to get a piece from the new market of CGI animated features but, except for Pixar and a very few others, the results have been mostly underwhelming. This movie is a fine example. Indeed, even though it was apparently a box-office success, I thought it was just terrible. Indeed, the animation was rather poor and, above all, the story and the characters involved were just so boring. Seriously, they tried to be clever by combining 2 heists at the same time but it was really underwhelming. Apparently, it was co-produced in South Korea so they felt they had to add PSY singing ‘Gangnam Style’ during the end-credits. I mean, sure, it must have been fun to have this cameo for the kids but, in my opinion, it shows how low the level was with this production. To conclude, I thought the whole thing was really weak and I don’t think it is worth a look at all.
