A rerun

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2001)

This movie is good, but certainly not worth all the accessive amount of praise it has been getting. This film is yet ANOTHER computer animation comedy for all ages. Amusing? yes, the jokes are good, but Eddie Murphy basically repeats the role he played as Mushu in "Mulan", except he's a donkey, not a dragon, this one is from Dreamworks, not Disney. I have no idea why Mike used the scottish accent, it does nothing for the film (not like it needed to). The story is creative, and the visual gags are funny, but this movie feels like it could have been done by Pixar, and it is nowhere near the quality of animation as some of their jaw-dropping cell animation films like "The Prince of Egypt" or "The Road to El Dorado", yeah I know that they are different forms of animation but you think they would keep a similar style. This is a great, funny, movie but nothing really new, and nothing to go ape-poo over.
