Not just for the kids

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2011)

A great animated feature about courage and difference and the need to understand why we do what we do.
Or perhaps it's an extended metaphor for the way the always-hungry beast of global capitalism pushes us to exploit one another for its benefit and can only be countered when we recognize our similarities and collaborate for our mutual benefit.
Nah maybe that's a stretch too far.
Did I mention it has dragons and Vikings in it with some ultra-cool animation?
This animated feature has a stronger script than many movies I've seen.
The animation is state-of-the-art, imaginative and in some cases ground-breaking
