Can You Say, 'Left Wing Propaganda?'

Rating: 2/10 (7 November 2005)

The good and the bad of this animated film are extreme.
THE GOOD - Bright, beautiful colors make this film a real visual treat. The 5.1 digital sound provides great audio, too, with surround coming out of all five speakers and a sub-woofer, especially when the huge iron robot walks, really makes the sound dynamite. THE BAD - The story is disgusting, beginning with the annoying lead kid who, in typical Hollywood style, lies and deceives and yet is the hero.
The film is chock full of liberal leanings such as anti-FBI (no FBI agent would be this bad), anti-gun ("guns kill" is repeated over and over), anti-hunting, anti- authority, pro-Communist, pro-rebel, etc, etc. All of the Liberal mindset. A lot of this preaching comes in the name of "exposing the 1950s paranoia," according to the director of the film, who verified my opinion in an accompanying documentary feature on the DVD.
Throw in the fact this is an animated film for kids yet there are a dozen exclamations of the God's name and very little humor and you have a film suited only for ACLU types.
