Rushed, fragmented mess. Looks pretty though.

Rating: 2/10 (28 May 2014)

Credit goes to the talented animators, who worked well with the mess they were given. The film looks superb.
The actual content of the film, though, could have been written by a distracted child. It jumps erratically from place to place, skipping over important character development and never giving any foothold with which to get behind their motivations. Everything is thrust in your face, with no build-up or lead-in, and you are expected to just "accept" every tenuous link or twist they throw at you. Very poor. It's basically "tell and don't show" all the way through, in terms of exposition.
Elements are introduced with no payoff, and awkward "payoff" moments had nothing to set them up, so fell flat. The ending, particularly, leaves a sour taste in your mouth for being some strange mixture of naive, cute, idiotic and nonsensical. Even the setting, with the awesome cultural music thrown in at the beginning was an empty gesture. The whole film is massively Americanized and only when the credits roll at the end do you get another hint of the netherlands. Missed opportunity! What happened to the mulan-esque relatively-tasteful cultural referencing of other Disney films?
I have heard and seen people trying to justify the distracted, jumpy, mess of a plot by saying "it's a kids film!". Rubbish. That's no excuse for making a bad film.
If you watch it, you'll be charmed by the beautiful animation, but frustrated by how quickly the film just tries to rush through everything without explaining anything. It's a poorly written, awfully conceived mess of a film which just happens to look gorgeous.
Avoid if you can.
