Phenomenal production, story and characters!

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2004)

This movie had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! Just sat there in AWE! I couldn't even eat my popcorn, as I might miss something. This movie has some of the most fabulous characters, artistry, storyline, soundtrack, and animation ever produced. It shouldn't be confused with normal animation at all, it is a far better production and filming technique. Most viewers will become totally entranced into believing that you are actually there participating along with the characters. The characters are astounding from conception to their manifestation. Their colors and shapes, from their original being to the multiple morphs that they might become, are without equal! I don't plan on reviewing the storyline, but these characters have stayed with me, permanently etched in my mind, ever since first seeing the film. I try to watch this movie every year at Halloween with friends, and am always as entertained as the first time! It is that great of a movie to be watched annually, like "Its A Wonderful Life", and someday could be considered as one of the best productions ever of it's genre. It is also a fabulous distractional movie for your kids; they will watch it over and over for weeks on end, enamored with each of the hundreds of characters, colors and songs. You cannot help but enjoy this movie, it has extravagant shapes, colors, backgrounds, characters, music, songs, themes and morals. A great story presented greatly. Just think, I still have this much passion about a movie that I first saw over 15 years ago! Enjoy.
