a bad movie that looks great

Rating: 1/10 (11 April 1999)

I went to see this movie with my 4 year old nephew and he of course loved it. For adults however this must be one of the excruciating movie experiences ever. While the filmmakers have lavished their talents on the animation, no one seems to have felt the need give us an actual story. Flick must be one of the most virtuously boring film heroes ever. The moral of the film appears to be that we should value eccentric and imaginative people instead of ostracizing them. This is all fine and dandy, except in such a tendentious presentation. We go to the movies for a story, not a sermon.
