Could have been much better

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2005)

The Lighting and color was OK in some areas but for the most part it wasn't colorful enough and the lighting was underdone. There needed to be more focus on shiny appearance of gold and classical cherry wood and golden lighting.
I remember some of the Disney stuff from the early 80's a picture book in particular that features the dog holding the keys at a dungeon and a massive cave system with beautifully illustrated treasure. This movie was nowhere near the standard of that. It came off looking as synthetic as the black pearl pirates in their ghost form.
I'm all for CGI in movies but it was very poorly done in this movie, some of the worst I've seen.
I wanted this movie to take me to the place i remember from the picture book I had as a kid unfortunately it failed miserably. Its such a shame more effort wasn't put into the fine details
