Amazing 2-hour long Acid Trip

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2005)

Had the DVD offered by a friend gathering dust. I realized shortly after finally popping it in that waiting had been a mistake. This cute animation keeps you on your toes, and does make you smile and laugh, without going where most American-produced "Shrek" copycats go. The humor is cute, genuine, old-school, and does not try to outsmart its viewers.
The characters are superbly drawn, and each new arrival leaves its predecessors in the dust. The soundtrack is very effective in setting the mood, and the English version voice-over is very decent. My only negative comment would be about its length. At more than 2 hours, it really feels long, especially for an animation, especially considering the amount of intricate sub-plots happening at the same time.
All in all, I'm glad for the gift and recommend at the very least a rental to everyone.
