Really one-dimensional. And I don’t mean the animation, though I guess I wasn’t the biggest fan of that either. I’m not the hugest fan of the big shift to 3D animation that’s gone on in recent years, which (initially, at least) seemed to me to be more about the medium than about the story, but stuff like ‘Finding Nemo’ (which made me grudgingly but finally and firmly agree that they can do some cool stuff with it) has so much more personality than this, whose animation is in a hand-drawn style yet still manages to look bland. Most of this is irrelevant, though: from what I could tell from reading the DVD case, this was all done digitally, therefore should be expected to have been given the same attention as any other of the 3D, digitally animated flicks being put out these days; but it just doesn’t seem like it has been. The backdrop art was great, but the characters in front of it were just… as I say, one-dimensional, in all respects. The humour that’s directed towards adults in many of the new animated films is sadly lacks here, too, which is really unfortunate. No catchy pop song aimed at the charts like a lot of others of its kind have, which again seems to suggest its being a low priority for the company. Generally it feels like this was rushed through at the development level. Certainly watchable, but, yeah: meh.
