A ripped-off masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2004)

This wonderous 2D film filled with magnificent melodies (with some exceptions...) is, in fact, a complete ripoff story-wise. You probably haven't heard of Osamu Tezuka or Kimba (I'm 14 and I notice not many adults, much less peers, are aware of this) and Kimba's now available on DVD. But that's not a suggestion. Trust me on this. Just do some research, but don't get too judgemental. Moving on. I've always had a preference for 2D (When I was 5 I was just THRILLED about CGI...But now it sucks.) so I undoubtedly started collecting all sorts of well-made flicks (My collection's not that big yet, I just started and in fact made a mistake...Thank god Quest for camelot was only 5 bucks.) so I undoubtedly got this one. SE is certainly a real collector's piece. Ignore those retarded stereotypes about kid's movies. Here's the laws of kid's movies: It's animated. It's G. It's intended for adults. Therefore it's marketed towards children (i.e. All Dogs go to Heaven). Matthew Broderick and Moira Kelley are both appallingly untalented in here, but you hafta admit, you won't even care. And don't watch "Morning Report". Just some final words of advice. Oh, and for you 2D-lovin' fanatics out there: Mark Henn, Andreas Deja, and Ruben Aquino.
