Title: Decent First Attempt
Product review: The theater was packed with adults and children waiting for a Shrek-like fairy tale adventure. Early in the show it becomes obvious that this is a first attempt by a new company. The animation is only so-so. For instance, when the wolf is in the river, there is overlapping animation between his legs and the water. Their animation software (or their skills) needs improvement. The story had promise, but was supplemented by musical numbers that were a little strange and too long. They really had to stretch to get the movie to feature length. The characters were OK but all seemed to have an attitude problem. No one was happy with their fairy-tale life. The best character, and the only one that got adult laughs in our theater, was the squirrel, who was kind of a cross between Chip & Dale and Scrat (Ice Age). The kids all laughed in a few places, but the adults didn't seem to find it more than mildly amusing in spots. This is not a movie I'd pay to see twice. Wait and rent it.
