Negative Positive
Title: trite
Review: A horrible storyline can spoil the best of films.American film makers have this undying love for stereotyped underdog stories with the courageous character that finds his true self and achieves success despite most unpromising circumstances. I suppose it must be part of the stereotyped image of the American dream, this feeding the average viewer with the idea that anyone can have a dream an make a success out of it.This underdog storyline can be sometimes exploited with originality and effectiveness (take Hercules and Mulan, to remain to cartoons) but it can also be a tricky path to choose as it is fully demonstrated here.That animation is excellent (and yet computer tricks are a little TOO evident and mechanical looking) and rhythm serrated, that voice-acting is professional and funny turns out not to be enough.This movie is not good, not even for children actually, not because of any improper adult content but because the ethics conveyed here are simply not healthy for a kid.
