Avoid - don't believe the hype.

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 2002)

I am disappointed with the reviews I've read so that's why I'm writing this -
This is a SPOILER to anyone who wants to gush and make pretty comments about this film.
I hate to poop this party, but the film - Liberally jumps between 2D and 3D animation scenes and effects, for no discernible reason (other than the filmmakers not wiling to spend the time or the money to make sense of it);; - Characters form lifelong bonds instantaneously and spells come & go, for no discernible reason (other than the filmmakers not wiling to spend the time or the money to make sense of it);; - Characters change mood from being mad enough to eat people to sewing yarn in a house with a quiet picket fence, for no discernible reason (other than the filmmakers not wiling to spend the time or the money to make sense of it);; and - The plot spits and starts & stops & goes here and there so frequently I thought I might have gone through the looking Glass myself, for no discernible reason (other than the filmmakers not wiling to spend the time or the money to make sense of it).
Can I get a witness? Be warned - If you're like me, you're going to wish you brought someone under 7 so as not to have wasted your time - Go watch Crouching Tiger & cleanse your soul.
