a classic given a new life

Rating: 7/10 (30 September 2006)

I remember watching the cartoon version of this when I was a kid. I always liked the story. This movie tells the story again; this time with real people and cgi animals. The animals were very well done. It's hard to tell at times that the animals are not real. You can see where all the money went.
I didn't think the final battle was all that great. It was just a lot of animals, whom were not central characters,running at each other. It was so generic; you've seen that type of battle numerous times in adventure films.
FINAL VERDICT: It's a fun adventure. Excellent special effects, but most importantly is it has a good story to go along with them.
