the animation is amazing

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2002)

An early XXI. century fairytale. Or rather, a parody. The animation is amazing (what else did you expect boy, this is DreamWorks...), the story and characters are entertaining, so my general impression is very good. Still, a remark on the so-called "message" of the movie. It is supposed to teach us to be tolerant and respectful to other people (and ogres, too ;-))). However, some of the gags went against this very message (when the frog and the snake are turned into balloons, for instance): this shows that the creators themselves didn't really care about this message.
