Nice Idea, Bad Movie

Rating: 2/10 (28 December 2006)

This film feels like it would have made a nice 8 minute short. But at full length, by god it's bad. I am not one of those Conservative nutters who are hating on this film for it's "liberal" conspiracy plot. Trying to teach h The Kids about the bad things mankind is doing to animals and the environment is noble and good. But could it not be done in a GOOD movie? The plot is ridiculous. The voice acting is passable at best (but why is Robin Williams voicing both of non-white characters?). The actual dancing is just silly, Mumble's supposedly impressive dancing seems to consist largely of him waving his foot in the air whilst they loop a clicking sound effect. The ending is more than a little preachy and they resolve all the problems of the film in a MONTAGE. It's a horrible mess of a film. Parents, teach your kids about global warming and overfishing and the environment. Don't make them suffer through this.
