Review by bluzman

I am a fan of this type of story and have never stuck a nickel or lower on a big name writer/movie, until now. The story was sound, but the movie lacked in action and depth because it was easier to talk, talk, talk through the animation.

I saw the animation as a failure, in the same way the first attempt at combining animation and live action in the Lord of the Rings failed about 30 years ago. Only Tron managed to pull it more or less off.

I could have dealt with it in shorter segments, like the way Tarantino got around the pedophilia issue in Kill Bill Vol. 2.

I would have much preferred live action, but the price of the real life stars would probably have broke the budget.
