disgusting, overrated, pointless
... View MoreIt's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
... View More*WARNING: SPOILERS*I picked up a copy of this film in a charity shop, thinking it couldn't possibly be as badly animated as the cover art seemed to suggest. It was, and the ridiculousness didn't stop there. Within a couple of minutes of the start, it became very clear that the film was heavily borrowing from 'My Neighbour Totoro', essentially lifting the moving in scene directly from it. There was also a running gag of a hunter and his dog, who could be described entirely as a fat Dick Dastardly. The dog even laughs like Muttley at one point. Add to this the flying Bigfoot, one of whom takes off by farting, and a plot to use a hydroelectric dam to grind up pine-cones, and you have one of the biggest rush-jobs to ever make it to public release, arguably making 2012's FoodFight look professional!
... View MoreI'm watching it now. I feel it's my moral duty to warn off other parents from spending money buying or hiring the film. We're watching it on Prime so it's free. I can only describe it as akin to a cartoon pretending to be an full blown animation, but without upbeat tempo tunes, a good storyline or quality animators. I'm not entirely sure it has a storyline either. I should have switched off ages ago. It's sending my kids to sleep, which means I can extract myself from the sofa to make a cup of tea, so it gets 2 marks for that at least. I'm really surprised my children haven't asked me to switch channels.Apart from that it's brilliant.
... View MoreWe received this DVD as a gift from a friend who's child loved it. My daughter watches it everyday sometimes 2 or more times. It's a good story for a child. It's simple and easy to follow. She loves the music and will stop the DVD (she's only 2) and rewind the song she wants to hear again. Sometimes she goes to far and gets upset so she calls me and I have to get it back to the right spot.The characters are all pretty big and their features are exaggerated somewhat so it's easy for her to see and understand who is who and follow along. I think it was perfectly written for a child ranging in age from 1 year to 3 years. Older kids may like it as well but I only have my daughter as my reference.When I first watched it I was concerned that some things might be scary for her but they weren't at all. She asked questions about things that she didn't understand so it was a good opportunity for learning. She loves the dog and the little girls. She also loves the big fury Sasquatch.If you have a child and are looking for things she or he may like. I would say this one is a safe bet.
... View MoreThere is not much to say about this movie. since I am the only reviewer, that means I am not the only one who thinks this. This movies seems like a college project or someone's first film. It is poorly animated and poorly written. My kids seem to like it, but kids will watch anything you put in front of them when they are young. The two sisters in the movie have strange eyelashes that are distracting and unnecessary. The Sasquactch can fly with their feet. What is that about? William Hurt is horrible as the dad, he speaks too softly when it is inappropriate, he should stick to live action. The "lesson" of the movie is tried and true and you are whacked in the head by it.When you have great animated movies these days like UP!, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda or anything else released by Dreamworks or Pixar, there is no need for trash like this.
