Call me an Ogre

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2001)

I am not sure I understand why this movie was so well received by critics. It is an ok movie, but there is not an original idea or even a coherent story. It relies almost entirely on references to other stories, movies and even companies (Disney), and the animation, while technically impressive,
lacked any "magic" or true beauty.
Also I was turned off by its blunt attempts at appealing to both kids and adults (with a sledgehammer approach) and the way overblown music.
So call me an Ogre, but please don't make me watch this again...
