Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This movie rocks. It's a very little known gem that is also heavily underrated. However, apparently most of those who know it cherish it and recognize its worth. This movie is really cute, charming, delightful and even educational.I wonder if the simple fact that its title is 'Napoleon' partially contributes to its lack of popularity. Those who never heard or saw it or don't know what is it about might easily confound it with some film about the french emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.There are a few minor flaws. Such is the case of the innocent- looking cat that has become vicious and insane and still follows Napoleon until the very last second of the movie. I know that in the movie the cat is bad, but I dislike the fact they make a vicious monster out of an innocent house cat. They're not like that, they're wonderful pets. But aside these slight minuses, the movie is wonderful.«Meet a pup with a nose for adventure» is its tagline. Indeed, that's what it is about. Napoleon is that puppy and he's the cutest thing! He's adorable and irresistible yet behind his angelical looks he has a strong character and the spirit of a true adventurer. And he even eventually becomes a bloomin' hero thanks to his hunger for adventure and bravery. His real name is actually Muffin' but he hates it when they call him that.However, Napoleon doesn't live all these adventures alone. He meets various sorts of animals, including his adventure companion Birdo (a funny bird that resembles a lovebird or a parrot). It's funny that Birdo is always saying that he won't follow Napoleon this time and how stubborn he thinks Napoleon is, but in the end he always goes with him because, deep down, he's got a conscience and he cares about him.This is one of those movies that can be watched over and over and never lose its magic. Besides, the fact that it is foreign (in this case Australian) makes it feel even more special. Cinematography is very rich thanks to the gorgeous settings and landscapes of nature and wonderful angles of sight of Sydney viewed through high heights.The score is brilliant. It has relaxing instrumental music, the endearing song "How Far I'll Fly" and the touching goodbye song by Birdo and Napoleon.Title in Portugal: 'Um Cãozinho Chamado Napoleão'.

Napoleon as a movie tends to be filled with joy, music and cute animals. Even with the flaws of the storyline the movie still is able to be enjoyable if you set aside all your critiques and just watch it as a movie. The characters and the lame humour actually made me laugh but it is actually the characters who make this movie.Without Birdo, Napoleon and all the other characters in this movie you would not have a movie and I give Kudos to all the voice actors for their amazing portrayal. I particularly enjoyed Birdo and the Koala but that's not to say that the others were bad. Even the cat was pretty well done.A nice cheerful movie, if a little old.

I absolutely love this movie. Words are not enough to describe such a cute movie. Aside some minor stuff, the whole movie is delightful, adorable, wonderful, hilarious, sweet, exciting, thrilling, entertaining, full of charm and adventure, danger and even some darkness.The list of qualities doesn't end here. What to say about the scenario? For one thing, this is an Australian film. This special production takes place in Sydney and in a nearby island. This is one of the reasons why this movie is well renowned. This is a rich production that captures all the beauty and wonders of pure nature. Even details like the sounds of exotic birds and waterfalls were not forgotten, which accents this realistic environment even more. Mountains, forests, green places, trees, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, rocks, various species of animals, deserts, sandstorms, sunsets, sunrises, winds, rain, snow and even the seasons of the year are all present here. Plus, the camera work is very efficient.The story is about a very cute and adorable Golden Retriever puppy named Muffin' (although he nicknames himself Napoleon) that longs for adventure, danger and a life with wild dogs. Despite his young age and innocent appearance, Napoleon is very confident and not timid at all. In fact, he is a brave and curious explorer. But he proves to be a hero later, when he saves two adorable dingo puppies.His curiosity makes him explore a balloon and accidentally causes the balloon to fly with him inside the basket (which is attached to the balloon). The balloon flies all over the city (Sydney) in very big heights. There are very beautiful and stunning angles of view in this sequence: very tall buildings, roads, a big bridge, the endless sea and even the famous Sydney Opera House (also known as Opera Australia). And these fantastic vistas are perfectly combined at the sound of the lovely Napoleon's song "How High I'll Fly?". Even a brief but delightful voyage by train wasn't forgotten just after that. The basket gets stuck on the train, which takes Napoleon to a great ride over the city.Other gorgeous shots are when a fantastic sight of Sydney is shown at the beginning, from Napoleon's house and also when, after a long cross of the sea (in the air) Napoleon is getting close to very tall mountains with a beautiful beach down there but he doesn't know what to do until a galah named Birdo appears to help him all over his fantastic journey. Together they live big adventures and dangers while, at the same time, Birdo teaches him everything he knows about wild life. The soundtrack includes beautiful and soft instrumental music, the sad goodbye song sung by Birdo and Napoleon and the tender and touching Napoleon's song "How High I'll Fly?".As for the cast, they do a decent voice job, especially Jamie Croft as Napoleon, Philip Quast as Birdo and Susan Lyons as Napoleon's mother.Despite all its qualities, this is a quite underrated film, a sad reality. However, it's one of the best animal movies, no question about that. And anyone who loves this precious little film just gotta love "Old Yeller", "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey", "Fluke" and "Air Bud". They all deserve to be considered timeless classics.They don't make movies like this anymore and this is one of those unique gold classics about animals.This should definitely be on Top 250.

Sometimes serendipity, dumb luck, and channel-surfing really pays off. That's how we found this terrific treat. Look -- in your cable listings or in your video store -- for this Australian-made movie feature. Total delight -- and you can watch it with your mom, your grandmom, your mom-in-law, even your kids in the same room -- or all by yourself if your macho attitudes requires. [Remember "Paulie"? That's right in this category.] But there's none of the "Old Yeller" boo-hoo stuff, so you-and-they'll be okay and sinus-dry when it's over. It's about a city-bred puppy who just knows he has to connect with his wild cousins, the dingoes. So off he goes -- in a balloon-powered basket (okay, we'll admit we worried about the pup up there in midair, especially when the basket was snared by a pointy-nosed commuter train -- but why give away the good stuff?). The photography is gorgeous, but the animal shots (birds, lizards, turtles, dingoes, etc.) are nothing short of incredible!! "Stunning!!" works, too. No people at all to get in the way, either. Try it. If you don't like it, then you'll just have to wait until the movie version of "Hannibal (the Lecter)" arrives.
