A good movie

Disney used to rule the animation market but, ever since ‘Toy Story’ has been released, virtually everyone turned to CGI animation and the competition is pretty ruthless. The big giants in this new market are obviously Pixar and Dreamworks but some other studios have played with this genre as well and there are some pretty interesting features like this one definitely standing out from the rest. Anyway, I saw this flick a while back and I saw this movie again yesterday and I thought it was still pretty good. First of all, the whole concept was actually pretty neat. I mean, we always have those stories when we were kids about a creepy house around the corner. Here, they pushed it to the next level and made the house really haunted! Obviously, compared to the current animated productions, the animation is nowadays rather outdated but I think it still has its charms and it was effective enough. Above all, I really liked how the story and the characters were written. Indeed, they were just really funny and their reactions were quite believable. At the end of the day, it remains a rather simple story but I thought it was very well made, entertaining and it really captures the Halloween atmosphere (not that I am an expert though since I'm European). Anyway, to conclude, it is an original animated flick, aiming for the teenagers, I really enjoyed it and it is definitely worth a look.
