Dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (20 March 2010)

I can't say that when I first read the plot for this one I was all that interested in seeing it. However since it was $2 admission day for kids shows and the reviews seemed to be SO positive I decided to chance it. I should have gone with my gut feeling.
There were 4 kids (aged 9-14) and two adults in our group and EVERYONE hated it. It was truly dreadful. It looked like it had been pieced together by high-school students and the caption for each change in scene (I guess they must have thought the audience was too stupid to notice) didn't exactly give it the feel of a professional show or do anything for the flow of the film.
The Claymation looked like it was done by amateurs and was a poor choice for a feature-length film - which is thankfully it barely long-enough to qualify as - I was waiting for it to wrap up or improve after the first two minutes. It is easily the worst children's movie I've seen of any kind. Had I not had the kids and neighbour's kids with me I would have left after the first ten minutes it was that bad. When the characters were swearing they would use the word "cuss," which became very confusing in the first scene in which it occurred. The rest of the dialogue was equally bad. I'm not not sure where all the positive reviews are coming from but after seeing this piece of work I have doubts as to the ratings/reviews on IMDb as a whole.
To quote another reviewer who actually saw the film, "Avoid at all costs."
