Great family entertainment

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2005)

I must say that I took the kids to see this because they nagged me about it. I didn't have any expectations or know much about it at all, as I generally ignore the hype surrounding films. But, wow, what a great movie. The plot is the standard good versus evil, with good prevailing. However, the storyline allowed great characters to develop, the animation was top notch, and the lines were very, very funny. The fact is that the movie was able to successfully appeal to young and old. That is the magic of it. BTW, I think the designer woman character was a spin off of the wedding planner in "Father of the Bride", with the accent, and the manner. Still, very funny.
