A green faeces belly flops into showbiz

Rating: 6/10 (29 June 2005)

When I watched this animated film, I was always expecting it to be a huge sellout. And I was correct. Look at the proof: Stuffing a long list of good actors into 80 minutes; shoving a pop song into a portion of the film every five minutes. And the most perverse thing is, it's about a big ogre and his companion who can talk and is a donkey! Who is in love with a dragon! Seriously, the creators of this had better get a few tips from Toy Story and stop sticking sexual innuendos into any space they can find: "Heh, I've gotta save me ass!" Because this is getting old real fast.
The best bit is the part with the gingerbread man, and it's the only part I actually laughed at instead of a little chuckle.
"Run, run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the GINGERBREAD MAN!!!" Lord Farquad is a legend, and no one can excuse him of that title.
