Fast and "Furr-ious"!

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2008)

Absolutely wonderful animation. I know in my head that it is similar to that for Toy Story, but there's something more here. I couldn't tell in the outdoors scenes whether the water, etc. were real or animated. And the you feel as if you can touch the characters and know what they would feel like, more real than claymation. Just bizarre, but wonderful.
The story and even the music, as well as the characters themselves are everything you would want in an animated film. But I deducted one star only because I don't think it would hold the interest of very young children for the whole movie. For example, in the beginning of the movie there are long (and boring) shots of moving within cellars and between floors. And there is quite a bit of yelling and knives aimed at the rats.
But other than that it is an intriguing movie that goes by at a rapid pace and will leave you amazed at the quality of the animation, the sweetness of the story and characters and the overall effect of a "feel good" movie excellently made (but hold the rat hair).
