Is this what animation has come to

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2005)

I find the entire premise of this movie DISGUSTING. It's basically about CLASS and social differences, somehow (*somehow*, God knows how!) transplanted into an animated world. It's a very ADULT premise, and the movie makers have somehow taken advantage of the animated medium to get their story in, and it's horrible. There's supposedly hilaaaarious gags about parodying various fairy tales throughout the movie, only they're NOT, and anyway, didn't we do that very thoroughly in the first one? Also, there's suggestions of INCEST, or whatever you want to call it - why does the fairy godmother have her tits popping out through the whole movie, especially when talking to her son? Just like is SAID at the end - "That's his MOTHER?!!" Yeah, I wouldn't have thought it either....
When I was a kid, cartoons were about cats and mice, superheroes who flew faster than bullets or swung around the city on webs or whatever - THIS is some very weird modern version of My Fair Lady, twisted and perverted beyond all belief, and, sickeningly, with awesome *visuals*, just to make the kids go and see it. If they want to show off how many computers they have, and how many photo realistic, raytraced, realistically lit frames they can render, why not just hand us the "Dreamworks showreel"? It's disgusting to see this pitched as a kids movie, it's nothing of the sort. I feel sorry for those who are children today, if I was growing up now, I'd throw up and probably hit someone after watching this movie.
Avoid.
