Totally over-rated

Rating: 4/10 (21 January 2001)

You know how people love kids' movies that are also funny on another level for adults? Ever seen a Wallace and Grommit short? You'd probably have high expectations for this movie, as did I. You'd also probably be disappointed, as was I.
I don't know who this movie was targeted for. The animation and the accents seem to intend an adult audience, but only a small child who hadn't seen many movies could have been surprised or entertained by the lame story.
4 was kind of a high rating for me, as I did laugh a few times, so I gave the film a higher number than I think it really deserves. Basically, I believe this movie is getting a bit of a halo-effect pass from critics because the W&G shorts were so good. This movie, however, is not.
