Two movies shoved together

Rating: 2/10 (21 November 2006)

I don't like to be tricked. Had the movie trailer given some implication that it was going to be a political platform about tree-hugging themes, then I could have made the decision to attend it on my own based on truth, but as it is, I feel deceived and resent that. Of course, had honesty come into play, then the box office sales wouldn't have been as high. Seems like an underhanded maneuver that the "evil" humans that are portrayed in the movie may have demonstrated in accomplishing THEIR own agendas as well...........
I give the first half of the movie a 5. I found the animation, music and plot to be fun and enjoyable. I give the second half of the movie a 0. The animation went completely away in some scenes, the good music disappeared and the plot completely changed to a different theme and focus altogether. Overall, that averages out to a 2.5 (rounded down to 2) for the entire movie. With the disappointment that accompanies the old "bait and switch" tactic (when the movie changes completely), I'd like to have given the movie a flat 0, but I'm trying to be fair about the good half of the movie.
Neither I nor my 12 year old nephew were impressed by the movie overall - our disappointment lying in the deceitful presentation of the movie in trailers....
