Good Animation, Same Tired ol' Story

Rating: Null/10 (16 March 2002)

**Possible Spoilers** (even though you've seen this ending before in other movies...)
First of all, for me, the voice talents (if that's what you want to call it) of Ray Romano are enough to kick my rating down a star. His normal voice and "annoying voice" and "angry voice" are really not that different. His monotone drove me crazy through the entire movie. PLEASE don't let him become a staple in the voice-over animation industry!
Second of all, how many times are we going to see the "Benedict Arnold Makes Good" plotline? Or the "Suprise I'm not Dead" ending? (my partner mentioned the fact that the Tiger really didn't get hurt enough to even be lying there on the brink of death to begin with...)
The only thing that really saved this movie at all was the Squirrel which seemed to be destined for a series of short features soon.
Other than that, we have good 3D animation wasted on a movie we've seen thousands of times before.
