Lame, twee and ugly characters....

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2003)

The movie is lame, twee and characters are ugly. Plot is non-existent. Ok so it is a kiddies movie (this seems to be a popular cry). Fair enough - but compare this with Disney's classics, like Robin Hood or Sword in the Stone and you will see how pale this is in comparison. The characters are not particularly likeable either.
Scientifically it is on dodgy ground - yes it is for kids, but the point is that kids believe what they see and why feed them scientifically inaccurate material when it is not necessary.
The only saving grace is Scrat the squirrel, which is amusing.
My kids thought it was average.
Wasted opportunity - for me the first lame movie in its genre (of computerised feature films)
