What's with the haters?

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2019)

After reading some of the top listed reviews here I was almost reluctant to watch the movie. I don't understand the criticism. Of course you're not going to get the same expressiveness in a photo-realistic animal character that you would from a cartoon, nor should one expect that. But this movie has much of the charm of the original in the story telling combined with CG artistry that is absolutely stunning.

This movie should be accepted at face value and not compared to the cartoon from which it was based. It has it's own magic. The incredible effort put into the graphics was not lost on me, the animators didn't get a hair or blade of grass out of place. The music score was better in the original, but that was a high bar to clear, but overall this movie should not be missed.
