Great animation, great and edgy humor, nice 'fairy-tale'

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2001)

Just another childish animation? I don't think so. For starters, it seems a fairy-tale, but almost all are ridiculed. Next it has a humor so subtle you'll have to view multiple times to get all of it (who is farquad modeled after?). Furthermore the animations are stunning, especially compared to films like Toy Story.
The main story is quite a standard fairy-tale. A ogre besets on a quest to rescue a fair princess guarded by a dragon. But the story is just a mask for all the twists and turns the makers were able to overload the movie with. The characters really come to life because of the perfect casting. Not the least Murphy as Donkey.
A classic-to-be.
