He likes to get...PAID

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2001)

I have to admit I prefered to go to Bridget Jones's diary, but my stubbourn friend Lonneke practically dragged me into this movie. But,. when I come to think of it, I realise I DO like animation movies. I liked The Nightmare before Christmas, I liked, Chicken Run, but I liked this one the best of 'em all. For me, as I live in The Netherlands, it's important to get the right version (not with the Dutch dialogs; those versions are horrible, most of the jokes get lost), allthough you lose a lot of jokes through the subtitles. But the humour is very sublime: Everyone who is mature enough, gets it. The youngest (hopefully) miss it. The story is very creative and not as soggy as, for instance, Cinderella. I didn't like the moral, but hey, that's the main objective of a fairytale: to be moralising, so we'll skip that aspect. The voice-casting is great and aspecially Eddy Murphy and Mike Myers's voices are much like you'd Imagine the characters to have. The hint to the Matrix is very well-done (but they could have made Robin Hood look like Keanu Reeves. O, and another thing I didn't get: Why did Robin Hood have a French accent? Probably to show us he's a real casanova, but despite the French-English disputes around that time, Robin Hood spoke English since he's from Sherwood Forest, but I think we all know THAT story) but since I am a rat-lover myself, I hated them for eating the rats. This probably sounds stupid, but I am weird. But the best thing of all was the disneyland-hint. Beautyfull! If there's one thing more moralising than the average fairytale, it's Disney. Yak.
In short (I can hear you think: thank god): rating of 9/10.
