An average movie

First of all, I want to make something clear, this is not a Disney feature. Even though their logo is displayed prominently on all the promotional material, they in fact only distributed it in the US, they didn’t actually make it. Actually, it was made in Europe by Ealing Studios and produced by Vanguard Animation. Even though it is always honorable when Europeans try to compete on the highly competitive animation market ruled by the Americans and the Japanese, in this case, the end result was not really convincing, far from it. First of all, I’m rather surprised when I read that some viewers thought that the animation was very well done. Honestly, I thought it was actually pretty ugly. Furthermore, even though the concept had some potential, the whole thing was barely entertaining and the humor was just inane. There was one thing that I enjoyed and that was the bad guy portrayed by a falcon. Indeed, this character looked and sounded pretty awesome but I didn’t care much for the rest. To conclude, even though there were some good ideas here and there, it remains a rather ugly and boring animated feature and it is not really worth a look, even if you like the genre.
