Knucklehead!

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2003)

It's short. Just over an hour. This means very little happens, and so a seemingly short and contrived story ensues. This doesn't mean to say it's lacking anything, i happily watched it and the time flew by. A sign of a good film; i never lost interest once!
You dont really get characterisation, and are left wondering about the protagonists who seemingly act according to nothing, other than the writers whim. Somewhat sceptical, but altogether true. We find out little other than characeteurs.
Perhaps in 'childrens films' we should expect little else of an underlying plot; but who takes these kids to these films? Should i be as naive to say that children wouldnt appreciate or understand such things anyway? I very much doubt i could. So why don't we have this? A simple explanation would be time.
All in all, the film is good. A great fantasy world is created, and all done through the miracle of computer-graphics and great animators. Show your kids, they wont be horrified, and ... despite this ultra-white enironment, no blood! Yay!
