Adult scepticism turned to real delight over this film animation

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2006)

I saw a trailer of this and made the adult(without children) mental note: "won't bother"! So glad I saw it when visiting my niece and her two young children. We had a movie outing together and I chuckled more than the rest of the audience, in between trying to figure whose voice was "Humber Hornet". Too distracting from the sheer pleasure of this action-packed animated frolic. It was Paul Newman! I like to think I am a movie buff, so going to a kid flick I brace myself for being dumbed out. Not so here. I loved every second of the masterful fusion of human emotions,and believable characters, with mechanical objects.
It is still good to get into the child in all of us - but probably most of you know this already? I am a convert to this genre. Next stop will be "Over the Hedge".
