Funny anti-Disney...

Rating: 7/10 (27 February 2002)

1st watched 2/27/2002 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Andrew Adamson & Vicky Jenson): Funny anti-Disney, anti-cute fairy tale, computer animated, ugly ogre wins all story. This starts out from the beginning as a big slap in the face to the usual Disney princess gets rescued by the handsome prince charming with many references to that other animation studio throughout. And Dreamworks truly has gone another direction by adding some adult humor, cursing, and even sex references to it's recent movies like this and the well-made but overlooked Antz. It's still ok for kids, but also bearable for adults and that's where I think they have really got something different in the way of animation. There is also a lot of great music whether it's a remake or a new tune(for the most part not sung by the characters but a background to the story.) All in all this movie is a pretty fun way to spend an hour and a half with a pretty basic story but humorous and entertaining throughout.
