Wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2006)

Simply wonderful. This is a child's fantasy wonderfully transfered to the big screen with big acting, directing, editing, production, costumes, and makeup. The cgi has come such a long way that the characters come to life... and let's not forget the voice actors who breath that life into those characters. It couldn't be done without them. All wonderful... simply wonderful family entertainment.

PS: It seems to me that finally Hollywood has caught on to the idea that good entertainment is good. It seemed to me that there was a time when one movie after another was made to depress and criticize everything ... as if there was an overall conspiracy of negativity that anything good is bad. And if you dared to make a movie that was about the good qualities in people, then you were ostracized by the industry.
It seems to me that now that time is over. With such wonderful entertainment going on in this past decade (Shrek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings - all three powerful solid movies each in their own right - etc etc) the movie industry has finally got it right. Make the movies you want - the ones that sell, the ones that don't - the ones that entertain the ones that don't. People will still flock to see them - b/c they are the movies.
